Chinchillas like to climb and need sufficient opportunities for this when they are kept in cages. You can offer your chinchilla seesaws, climbing houses and tunnels on several levels that invite your pet to romp and explore. Learning toys and snack balls are also ideally suited for occupation, and keep the animals mentally and physically fit.
Chinchillas, which are active at night, require sufficient rest during the day. But during the night, these sociable animals also need a place of retreat. Ideally, the sleeping quarters have several entrances, chambers and floors where the animals can withdraw as they wish. In addition, all the accessories for chinchillas should consist of solid wood as far as possible, as they gnaw at everything they come across.
