Can I cover her cage at night with a blanket? Can I spray perfume around the room? How do I tell her age? Does she need a friend? How often should I handle her? Will she always loose hair when I hold her? Can I let her run around in a clear ball? Can
Congratulations on your new pet! Here is all the info you should need about getting started with your chinchilla. https://www.petco.com/shop/PetcoContentDisplayView?storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&path=/content/petco/PetcoStore/en_US/pet-services/resource-center/caresheets/chinchilla.html To address some of your other questions, you should not need to cover her cage at night and try to avoid spraying perfume/air fresheners around her as it could irritate her respiratory tract. Best of luck. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

What is the best bedding to use for a chinchilla? I have heard bad things about kiln dried pine/aspen, about Carefresh and other expanding beddings, paper pieces, fleece, etc. I'm just trying to prepare for my best for my new chinchilla.
You will find negative reviews of almost every product if you look long enough. Aspen, CareFresh or kiln dried pine shavings are all acceptable choices for bedding. Use what works best for you and your chin and is easy to buy.

My chinchilla has a small cut what do I clean it with?
Hello again. I would use a mild antibacterial skin cleanser like Hibiclens. This has chlorhexidine & is available at any pharmacy. Treat the area at least twice daily. Hope this clears things up. Thank you.

Can I take my chinchilla on a trip with me (like through a plane, hotel etc.) ? I will make sure she has a proper cage and everything
The transport of animals on an airplane is subject to many different rules and regulations, and ultimately depends on the airline that you choose. Some airlines are more lenient than others. I would speak to the airline you would like to take and also to the TSA to find out any special regulations in terms of what will be needed for transport. In terms of your animal's health, depending on where you are traveling you will likely need a certificate of health stating that Chachi is in good health and free of any contagious diseases. Chinchillas are also very high stress animals in new situations. It would probably be beneficial to offer some sort of sedative during this type of journey in order to keep the anxiety level to a minimum. Speak to your veterinarian about this so that he can come up with an appropriate drug and dose. For very small animals, sometimes these drugs will have to be specially made at a compounding pharmacy.

This isnt exactly about my pet being sick but can a rat and a chinchilla live together/play together?
It is not recommended that they live together. They have different environmental and dietary needs. Different species of animals will require different types and amounts of food. Some foods that are safe for one species may be unsafe to another. Rodents who are fed foods that are not formulated for them can develop health problems over time due to too much or too little of certain nutrients. If one animal is dominant over the other, they may not allow the passive animal to eat at all. Toys and supplies that are safe for one type of rodent may pose a hazard to others. The best example of this is dust baths. They can be used for chinchillas and larger rodents but are not considered safe for hamsters/mice/rats because the dust can cause respiratory problems. It is my opinion that you do not co-mingle them at all. You are just asking for trouble. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
