Chinchilla enclosures and accessories aren't just about keeping your pet contained- they're about creating a miniature wonderland that keeps these playful creatures happy, healthy, and thoroughly entertained.
Chinchillas require a few essential accessories, including a dust bath container for regular grooming, a water bottle with a metal sipper tube, ceramic food dishes that can't be chewed, and a hideout space.
The ideal chinchilla habitat is a tall, multi-level wire cage with horizontal bars (not vertical), measuring at least 2 feet by 2 feet and 3 feet tall. The cage should be placed in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and drafts, with temperatures between 60-70°F. Avoid humid environments, as chinchillas are prone to heat stress and require a consistently cool environment.
Be sure to have shelves or platforms for climbing, hiding spots, hay racks, ceramic food and water dishes, and safe wooden chew toys. Use fleece or wooden platforms for resting, and add a dust bath container that can be removed after use. Avoid plastic items, as chinchillas will chew and potentially ingest them.
