No, chinchillas do not have opposable thumbs. Their front paws have five digits, but they lack the thumb structure that allows for the kind of grasping and manipulation seen in animals with opposable thumbs, like primates. Instead, chinchillas use their paws for balance and to hold objects while feeding, but their dexterity is limited compared to animals with true opposable thumbs.
