They're prey animals and flight animals, so don't get too upset when they don't want to be handled, It's their natural instinct

Just a theory about they're fur, has you're vet ruled out a fungal infection?

Is the fur coming out when you hold them? That could be caused by stress. Also, a chin will literally shed patches of fur if they feel threatened. Either that or it could be fur chewing.

I would imagine that moving them from one place to another could be causing alot of stress, and that could be why they won't let you near them.
Yep i have Chinchillas and i ditto Marcia
