Will this work for a chinchilla and does it drip?

It will work great for a chinchilla, When I put them in my parrots cage it may drip at first, I push the ball back a couple of times and it quits dripping.

I'm sure this can be used for any animal. It will drip a little, if the water is not at room temp before priming.

I use it for a parrot and It doesn't drip - I do not know about chinchillas ... I never had one - sorry

I'm not sure about chinchillas, it works great for puppies and small dogs. I don't know enough about the behavior characteristics to say it will work. It sets up and folds for storage very easily.

It is very nice for our chinchilla. It's roomy and gives her plenty of room to play. It does not have sharp edges that would hurt her. I was very pleased with it.

I tried with a 12oz bottle. I was told that unless there is a "stopper" in the tube (as what would be in a gerbil or rabbit water bottle) as DSchwertner says, that there is too much pressure on the bottle contents, thus creating a constant drip.A smaller bottle may work, like a 6oz, but I am not sure. I haven't found a different product to use.

Not that I know of, but friends did use it for rabbits. If they can drink from a bowl should be ok.

This model would only fit a very small rabbit. It would work well for a hedgehog, guinea pig, hamster, rat, mouse, gerbil, flying squirrel and even some herps, such as a bearded dragon, chameleon, etc. It will be a bit tight for most rabbits, large chinchillas, etc.

I use mine for a spitting alligator, but he's not very tall. It doesn't have great water pressure inless it's in full sun.

Yes it would. It is large. Very roomy. I got it for my Chinchilla but she has not learned how to use it yet.

Yes, it should work. It's wider at the top and funnels down but not too narrowly. The wAter comes up in the basin about 3/4 way up. Dogs usually have long enough tongues to lap it up. It doesn't hold a lot of water for a long time away from home but it worked great for our road trip. We were always close enough to water to fill when needed. Hope this helps!

It moves a trickle down the spout, like what is shown in the picture. It's enough for a dog or cat to lap up. For bigger dogs or dogs that are really thirsty, they can drink out of the bowl, too. I would say the trickle is about what you'd use when leaving a hose on a tree during a dry-spell -- nice and slow.Oh, and I haven't had any problems with the motors on either of the two fountains I have from Drinkwell, and I've had them for several years now.

Yes, it does. I've used it for almost half the bottle and it has not dripped anything yet. It's quite easy to use and seems to dispense just the right amount. Dogs seem to love it.

I'm sorry, I have not used the Habitrail set yet, but I have seen this complaint before. If water drips from the bottle & Hammy ignores it, my only suggestion is to put water in a small heavy bowl so it isn't tippable, and Hammy can still drink like a cat or dog.

I am really not sure. I have never owned a Chinchilla. I bought it for my Rat :)

It does not drip and it is not easy to unscrew so most toddlers would be unable to do so. My toddler loves is and so do I.

It should be safe for all except toddlers ;-). Yes I think your chinchilla would like to lay on it :-)

I have my chinchilla in this cage and she loves it - lots of room to bounce around and I have a hammock hanging in the top the she sleeps in. She is older and her buddy recently passed so we are looking to adopt an older chin, but I think the cage could easily accommodate up to three chins. The one thing I dislike about this cage is how easily the area around it gets covered in poo. I have added plexiglass to the lower back portion to protect my walls and that has worked great. Hope this helps.

No, chinchillas require a special dust that mimics the volcanic ash in their natural environment and that can truly penetrate their coat. Luckily, it too is sold on amazon. Check out Blue Cloud Chinchilla Dust or Blue Sparkle Chinchilla Dust. Whatever you do, make sure it's labeled as chinchilla dust. Also if you have any other questions about chinchilla care, I'd recommend exoticpets.about.com they have a ton of useful information about all exotic pets.
