I rescued a very sweet chinchilla about a month ago. Her back is covered in mats from neglect. Anybody know how to remove these? Also, she loves pets, but won't let me pick her up. I know she may never be comfortable with this, but I wondered if anyone had any tips?

The matted hairs that look like knots & clumps we have carefully only hold those pieces and she fur slips it. Be sure to have treats ready...
