Chinchilla Cages

Chinchilla Cages

You searched for “chinchilla near me” and found yourself a pet. Congratulations! Now, the first step toward creating a lovely home for your chinchilla is finding a cage. Remember, this is where your chinchilla will spend most of its time, so you should make it as cozy and secure as possible. 

First, your adorable pet’s cage should be spacious. If the cage is too small, your chinchilla will feel uncomfortable and won’t have enough room to embark on exploration adventures. Then, the floor should be covered with bedding; pine shavings are a good option. Try to avoid “naked” wire mesh floors, as they can damage your pet’s sensitive feet. 

One of the things that make chinchillas as pets so interesting is their personality. They’re active and love exercise, both physical and mental. As their “parent,” you need to provide your chinchilla with fun things to do while in the cage. Add tunnels, tubes, spinning wheels, or balls that will keep your pet engaged. Dust baths are also a must, as chinchillas love taking great care of themselves. 

Needless to say, fresh water and food should always be at your chinchilla’s disposal.

FAQs

Two chinchillas can share the same cage and there’s no maximum limit on how large it should be. An expert from a pet store can help you select the best one.

There’s no need to cover your chinchilla’s cage at night.
