Chinchillas are rodents and have ever-growing teeth that need gnawing materials. Hard, safe objects to chew on can be wood blocks (white woods), rodent chews, manzanita pieces or pumice stones. Commercial toys and chews are practical and decorative, your chinchilla will never get bored.
For undisturbed sleep during the day, provide a house for privacy. Pine boxes and/or 6" mounted tubes allow your pet a place to get away in private or when scared.
Exercise wheels are available for chinchillas. Be sure to find at least a 15" solid running surface or solid saucer for their safety. Avoid those that are smaller or of wire mesh. Always secure them to the cage, you’d be surprised at how fast they can run!
All products mentioned can be purchased from your “breeder” or your local pet and feed stores.
