So you’ve purchased your new chinchilla and you’re eager to get him or her home, but first you need a good house for your new pet. Chinchilla cages can be purchased in many different styles and sizes.

When you start looking for a cage, look for one that is metal because chinchillas like to chew on things and he or she will not 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 together, you’ll want to put it in a spot where there is no wind and it should be out of direct sunlight. Chinchilla cages should be kept out of the sun because chinchillas have very long, thick hair and they like the temperature to be approximately between 60 and 75 degrees.

Now that you have found a good location for your new cage, its time to put in some fun and accessories. Chinchillas love to hide, so maybe you can add a hideaway box or some tunnels. You could add some shelves for jumping and lounging.

A great addition to all chinchilla cages is an exercise wheel. Its great for your new pets health and it will keep your friend from getting bored. A hammock is another good addition for lounging and naps. There are plenty of different things to add. Try some of these and just see what your pet likes the most.

Your chinchilla will need to stay clean and they love to bathe. They do not like to get wet, so chinchilla dust keeps them clean and keeps their fur soft. When you go to purchase a dust bath house, find one that attaches to the inside of the cage. You will want to find one that detaches and is enclosed. You want one that is enclosed so your pet can bathe without getting dust everywhere.

All you need now is fresh water, food, hay and chew treats. Enjoy your new chinchilla and your new cage!
