Chinchilla Carriers
Chinchilla carriers help you take your little buddy with you safely, wherever you go. Whether you're heading to the vet or on a short trip with your chinchilla, having the right carrier will make things easier for both of you. Just be sure to choose a carrier made specifically for small animals. There are a few types to choose from:
- Hard-side small pet carrier: Usually made of hard plastic with ventilation holes and a handle for carrying
- Soft-side carrier: Sturdy nylon with mesh windows for ventilation
- Chinchilla carrier bag: Bag and backpack designs make it easy to take you chinchilla anywhere
- Travel cages: Wire transport cages can help your chinchilla feel more comfortable during travel
It's important to remember that chinchillas will sometimes chew their carrier, so fabric bags and soft-sided carriers may not be the safest option. To prevent damage and escapes, choose a sturdy hard-sided carrier or travel cage and make sure to fasten it properly before you go. Chewy has a great selection of chinchilla travel carriers of all types, so you should have no trouble finding the perfect one.
Frequently Asked Questions about Chinchilla Carriers
How do you carry a chinchilla?
Carry a chinchilla in a safe, well-ventilated carrier made especially for small animal transport. You may want to put a fleece blanket in the bottom for comfort and provide hay for munching if you'll be travelling for a little while.
What is the best way to transport a chinchilla?
The best way to transport a chinchilla is in a sturdy carrier or travel cage made specifically for small animals. If you're travelling by air, be sure to check your airline's pet carrier requirements for cabin travel before you go. Air travel in the cargo area is not generally recommended for chinchillas, but ask your vet for the best guidance on air travel, car travel, and more.
What size carrier is appropriate for a chinchilla?
A small or extra-small size carrier is appropriate for a chinchilla — chinchillas may also feel more protected in these smaller carriers. While some people use cat carriers for chinchillas, it's usually best to get one made specifically for small animals. A smaller carrier can be safer, especially for car trips, since your chinchilla won't get thrown around as much during sudden stops.
