A simple method is outlined for intravenous injection and blood collection from a peripheral vein in the chinchilla. Seven peripheral vein sites were successfully venipunctured in unanaesthetized chinchillas: the femoral, cephalic, auricular, saphenous, dorsalis penis, lateral abdominal and tail veins. The femoral and cephalic veins were found to be the best sites for injection and blood collection.
