Its not acceptable to have it with you in the plane-cabin.
So im afraid she will be scared down there (noise,cold,other pets) and maybe pass away too :(
What do you think?Can i take back home with a plane my chinchilla?Chins get shipped all the time. You have to have an approved shipping container, and only airlines that are equipped to ship them will approve them as cargo. For example, Continental has a climate controlled room where all their animals are shipped, whether they are exotics or just dogs and cats. Other airlines will ship chins, but only during specific times when the cargo hold is at a temperature that is safe for them. Extremes of cold and hot are not acceptable and they won't ship them. There are now also companies that only ship animals and are prepared for the specific needs of each of their clients. There are several different options for shipping.
I believe there is still one airline that will allow you to have your chin in the cabin with you, but either way, chins get shipped across the country all the time and they do great with it. I've heard of one or two times where the chin had issues, but that was because the owner didn't take proper precautions or the chin was just too young to be shipped (or sold at all, in my opinion).
You do not need to sedate your chin, and in fact I would highly advise against it. Anesthesia is incredibly hard on chins and sedatives are never used routinely. Your chin will end up sleeping through the trip, just like they do on long car rides. I've driven my chins up to 24 hours one way on a trip, and all they did was sleep and munch on a little hay. The airlines will let you know (if you ship cargo) what is required for the chin's comfort while being shipped.
Before you can take your chin on the plane, or ship him, you will need to get a health certificate from your vet, verifying that the chin is in good physical health. I highly doubt that your chin will die from the noise or other pets. Truly, they just sink down into sleep mode and wait until you remove them from their carriers.
