will this work well for chinchillas?

Mine loved it. I only had one, but you could probably put 2-3 in it. It's fairly large.

How do you like it for chinchillas? I have three and they need a play area that I can supervise. :)

It probably would . We bought it for a sugar glider, but we have also had chinchillas and I think it would work for them.On second thought, thinking of the relative size of chins and sugar gliders, I am not so sure. If it were a smaller chinchilla it would probably be fine. It has been so long, I cannot really remember how big they were.

I think it would be way too small. It's also not very sturdy. I have done some research on Chinchilla's and I just don't think this would hold up. Also Chinchilla's chew and they are not supposed to have plastic shelves for that reason. It could cause a blockage.

I would not recommend it for rats. I had a baby chinchilla in this cage about 4 months old and he walked right through the bars. I ended up having to buy him a different cage. The cage was also much taller than I anticipated. the ladders from floor to floor have quite a space between them also.

Yes it works great for bunnies small and big. If you have a small room than it is pretty spacious if you shape it as shown. I used a rectangular shape against the wall to save on space. I now use mine outside to allow my 2 rabbits to have grass.

I think it would looking at the sugar glider. As for it's safety I can not give any opinion. As with any animal things can happen. It has worked for my son's Chinchilla he has had since it was a baby. Mine is not comfortable getting on one yet. I got her from a breeder and she has never been on one. She only sits on it.

It could be...depending on how big the chinchilla is and what size wheel you are looking at.

I've had a chinchilla, I think as long as you made a base for the bottom (I did for our rabbit) it would work.

I bought this for my chinchilla and it's perfect for my smaller home. It's easy to assemble and take apart for cleaning. As long as you look for a cage with plastic shelves and ramps so their feet don't get stuck you're okay.

It's good enough even without two sets stacked...one set is enough, if your chinchilla can escape this..he or she is definitely gifted.

Sorry, don't know a thing about chincillas. Little soft rats feet supposedly do get messed up (misshapen) by using the grated bottom but that can easily be remedied by removing the grate and slipping the pan into the grooves where the grate was. Might have to do a little adjustment but you might do the same for the chinchilla just in case. Another thing, the grated bottom is useless when it comes to keeping a rodent's cage clean. The bars just accumulate a lot of waste that has to be removed immediately.

This heating pad will be at 100 degrees F when something is lying on it. So if your chinchilla is always lying on it, the chinchilla (which doesn't like temps over 80 degrees for very long) will overheat. However, the pad doesn't heat the air (only the things in direct contact with it), so if the chinchilla is not lying on it, it won't overheat his cage. He can lie on it when he's cold, and lie next to it when he's not. However, I am not familiar with the particular needs of chinchillas, so I can't validate whether it would be good for them.

I have heard chinchillas like to chew, so this is probably not the best cage for them. To be honest, although my rats absolutely loooved this cage, they ended up chewing through the base in several places within a couple months, and we had to replace it with an all-metal cage. I bet a chinchilla would do the same.

Yes. My chinchilla wakes me up everynight from jumping around, and his cage is in another room. I also have to take his wheel out otherwise the cage rattles entirely too much.

Depends how long you will be traveling for. This bottle did leak for me, therefore I would not recommend it. My chinchilla drinks about 30mL/day. try it out first before taking it on a trip

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.
