So you've purchased your chinchilla and you're excited to get him or her home, but first you need a good house for your pet. Chinchilla cages can be purchased in a lot of different styles and sizes.
When you begin looking for a cage, search for one that is metal because chinchillas like to chew on things and he or she wont be able to chew through the metal.
Pick a house with a bottom tray for easier cleaning. Line it with news paper and clean it regularly. You'll also need to make sure that your pets new home has a lot of room for play and exercise. Chinchillas like to jump and play.
When you get your cage set up, you'll want to put it in a place where there is no wind and it should be out of direct sunlight. Chinchilla cages should be placed out of the sun because chinchillas have long, thick hair and they like the temperature to be approximately between 60 and 75 degrees.
Now that you have found a perfect location for your new cage, its time to put in some fun and accessories. Chinchillas like to hide, so maybe you can add a hideaway box or some tunnels. You should add some shelves for jumping and lounging.
A great addition to all chinchilla cages is an exercise wheel. Its good for your pets well being and it will keep your friend from getting bored. A hammock is another nice addition for lounging and naps. There are more than enough of different things to add. Try a few of these and just see what your pet enjoys the best.
Your chinchilla needs to stay clean and they like to take baths. They don't like to get wet, so chinchilla dust keeps them clean and keeps their hair soft. When you get ready to get a dust bath house, find one that attaches to the inside of the cage. You will probably want to find one that detaches and is enclosed. You want one that is enclosed so your pet can bathe without getting dust in the air.
The final stuff you'll need is food, water, hay and some chew toys. Enjoy your new pet and your new cage!
