There’s four of the baby chinchillas in this cage, and I caught them at night time (mind the dark video), and they’re having a blast on the new “Flying Saucer” wheel we got for them lol. Towards the end three of them try to cram onto it at once. XD
Creating a care sheet for chinchillas can remind the owner to feed them every day, clean the cage once a week, offer orchid grass once a week, provide fresh water every day and offer dust baths. Write up a list of things to do when caring for chinchillas with advice from the manager of a pet store in this free video on exotic pets.
