A video showing my chinchillas and where they live. I have a ferret nation cage split in half for them. Tristan lives on the top and Toby lives on the bottom.
Tristan doesn’t have a wheel yet, but I plan on getting him one for Christmas, shhhh!
I purchased the wheel from www.qualitycage.com
For some reason Youtube won’t let me post a web address in the comments.

Well all the cages are a lot of money, and i was thinking about building one. So if you know please answer Thanks.
Absolutely! I used to buy all my cages, but now I’m making most of them. You can see some of my creations and creative process at the first link below.
The cheapest way to do it is with a pine 1 x 2’s (pine) and galvanized 1 inch by 1/2 inch wire. You can’t use oak (it’s poisonous). The second link below lists some of the safe woods for chinchillas, but pine is far and away the least expensive.
Good luck!

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
