How do you build a Chinchilla cage out of a dresser?

Posted by admin On October - 10 - 2009

I would like to know how to build a chinchilla cage out of an old dresser? I would like it to be pretty easy.
thanks in advance!

I would say you need to take the doors off and you chicken wire over the front so they can see out of the cage, you will also need to make some sort of access for you to be able to clean.

You will also need to add shelves and things you could hang toys and hammocks on.

Also put some of tray which can slide under a layer of chicken wire on the bottom so the litter is seperated from the chins.

We had to buy a second cage make a hole in it and attach it to the original cage so they had more room as they quickily outgrew it, we also have a blockade for the door between the 2 cages to seperate Carl and Lenny as they occasionally fall out, especially now they are getting older

    Take some of the cross members out, add some floors, make a door for each floor completely covered with wire cloth on the inside as they like to chew. Cover the whole interior with the wire and put a ramp between the floors and close the ramps if you want to separate the floors for different Chinchillas.
