Chinchillas are social animals but if you put two together, they may fight. If you get another one, it would be a good idea to keep them in separate cages at first. Keep their cages right next to each other so they can get acquainted before moving them into the same cage. You could also try putting them in the same cage initially but be prepared to separate them if they get into a fight.

chinchillas like to climb, so a tall cage with lots of ledges is great. they also love to chew, so avoid plastic or at least make sure they have plenty of chew toys - applewood is best, avoid cedar completely.
he should be okay with you introducing another chinchilla into his habitat although it would be best to introduce them to each other gradually. be sure to get another male unless you want to have baby chinchillas. if you want babies, make sure that your female is larger than your male, otherwise the female WILL have issues giving birth and quite possibly hemorrhage and die because the babies will be too large.
he may very much enjoy having a playmate around.

A breeder once told me they were originally bred for their fur.. and their meat I can't be certain of his sources tho.
As for OP, He also paired male and females in cages together, with few problems. Again, Im no expert.

i dunno, i have one that LOVES to snuggle. then again, i raised him from the time he was born. he's the largest chinchilla i've ever personally seen and super sweet and loving.
not ideal for breeding, however because he's so large.
now my chinchilla Pykiel on the other hand is spawned from Satan.

so is he just a basic grey chinchilla? that's usually what they have at petsmart, none of the really fancy super expensive ones.
i had a white mosaic that i bred with Satan Spawn Pykiel and they made some awesome white mosaic babies that i sold for $200 each.

yeah, love nibbles. he likes my labret piercing a lot. but is also contented with fingers and earlobes. never bites hard, just little nibbles. he's quite a sweetheart like his uncle Lucky and is also mostly litter trained ... except he thinks his litter box is his food dish. =\

as long as it's not cedar you should be good.
cedar causes respiratory issues in all rodents.
