Kaytee Chinchilla Hut Hideout, 7.75-in

I got this specifically because it was wood and my chinchilla had chewed a gigantic hole in the side of her plastic hut... so to keep her from digesting plastic, I got this one, thinking if she chewed on it, it would be better for her... it only lasted maybe 4 or 5 days before I had to take it out because she kept flipping the top off, and had gnawed away the slots that fit it together. I honestly think it could work for animals that don’t tend to chew as much, but for my heavy-chewer, young chinchilla, it didn’t last long.

I really liked the size of this and so did my chinchillas. Only thing was that my chinchillas chewed it into pieces in a few days. Not the company’s fault though.

Pieces broke off when I tried to put it together. I nailed it together and ordered a different kind of hut. Piece of garbage.

It looked like a good idea, but one piece of the holding board broke within the first attempt of the assembly, not very sturdy after all, comes in pieces to begin with.

I tried this hutch for my chinchilla and there are two things that disappointed me about it. One is that there was no floor panel. I don't think my chinchilla would appreciate a nice hutch but have to sleep on the wire of his cage. The other issue is that it really is too small for my chinchilla - he likes room to move around. I cleaned up his original hutch which was larger and had a floor panel and he was happy to get it back.

This would be a great item it it was treated (naturally). I've bought this item twice, both times after a week of use (I have a long hair Syrian hamster), small bugs start to appear. All over the hut. I am very vigilant about the cage and they could not have come from anywhere else. It's unfortunate.

I know the purpose of this is to be a little house/bed thing for the chinchilla... but my chinchilla has already chewed it so bad, it's now just a small pile of wood in her cage. Is there another version that she won't chew? IDK, maybe one made out of fabric or something or is she still gonna chew that too?

Its perfect for my chin but they will stain it with their pee and it will need to be boight every 6-12 months because of this as well as it is wood and will be chewed on but I've noticed my chin doesn't chew it as much as I thought she would.

This is actually a lot better than I thought it would be based on the reviews! It took about 10 minutes to put together just because I didn’t know how the top was supposed to fit with the bottom... anyway, my chin LOVES it! The only problem is that it is a bit small, and only 1 chinchilla can fit at a time. Otherwise, great!

we put it up and hopefully, my squirrel will go in it.
