Your chinchilla needs an enclosure to run, jump, play, and just hang out in safety. Purchase a large enclosure with a solid bottom since chinchilla feet are sensitive. Wire floors can hurt his feet. Bedding pellets or shredded paper will absorb liquids and odors. Don’t use wood shavings since this material can poke your chinchilla’s feet and create dust that causes respiratory problems. When you hang the water bottle, keep it high enough so it won’t be contaminated with droppings or bedding. Your chinchilla needs a heavy food bowl so it doesn’t tip over. A hay rack will keep his food dry. A hidey house gives your chinchilla privacy. Give him ramps or an exercise wheel for exercise. Ensure these apparatus have solid bottoms to protect those sensitive feet. Give your chinchilla a few toys and he is ready for his new home.
