Frequently Asked Questions about Chinchilla Playpens & Habitats
Do chinchillas need a playpen?
Yes. Chinchillas need a playpen or designated safe space for exercise, mental stimulation, and supervised exploration outside their main habitat. Playpens prevent escape and protect them from household dangers.
What should I look for in a chinchilla playpen?
Look for a playpen with narrow bar spacing (no more than 1 inch apart) to prevent any escape artist antics, sturdy construction that can't be easily tipped over, and smooth edges to keep your furry friend from getting any unexpected injuries.
What is the best habitat for a chinchilla?
A multi-level wire cage with plenty of room to climb, jump, and explore with fresh air rolling in. The cage should be at least 2-3 feet tall, with multiple levels, platforms, and hideouts or even a hammock. Place the habitat away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Remember, these natives of the Andes prefer chilly temperatures to hot ones.
What should I put in a chinchilla playpen?
For toys, anything that's munch-worthy is best, like wooden chew toys. Make sure bedding and cage liners are soft and won't get caught on their tiny claws. A dust bath container is vital to keep them clean and groomed, as well as hideouts when they need some me time.
How big should a chinchilla playpen be?
This can vary depending on your chinchilla's temperament, but generally speaking, chinchillas are active creatures, so leave plenty of space to jump and climb, with at least 18 inches of height. Larger is always better, with recommended sizes ranging from 3-4 square feet for comfortable movement and play.
