I was thinking about getting this for my chinchillas, as they are heavy chewers and we new food bowls. Will this be OK for them?

When you say heavy chewers, are you worried they will destroy the metal by gnawing on it or implying that they will rest their weight on it while eating out of it? Either way, the cup is stronger than when you open a can of food from the grocery store. You can kind of bend a can once it's open; this cup is stronger. About weight, I have my 10 lb. chickens eating treats out of these cups and they haven't destroyed them yet! Not even a dent in the bottom of the cup with all of them pecking furiously over one-anothe to get what's in it. I'm satisfied with the product for what I paid.

I bought the small and on the dog kennel it just didn't stay put. Maybe with a different cage type it would work well. As far as chewing I can't imagine they could destroy it.

It should be fine. the worst that can happen is they lift the dish out of the holder.

They should hold up to chewing just fine however they are easily displaced from the holder (which I personally like, makes it easier to remove for adding food, washing, etc) so if you think they'd play around with them.. maybe go for something that locks in.

Hi JoshYes this is a good question. I have a much smaller dog "schnauzer" . She does a great job eating out of bowl, slowly but when she's starving there is very little movement chasing bowl. I give the bowl 5 stars!!

We use this for when the bunnies come in for a visit from their outdoor hutch. It is very durable and the bunnies have not chewed on the edges. We are very happy with the quality of the construction. I wouldn't see any problems using it with a chinchilla.

We thought it was good, but it's not. Have our 2 Chinchillas in this cage we bought at the end of August. This morning they both had gotten out of the cage because they chewed a huge hole in the bottom tray which is plastic. The ramps and shelves are plastic so they chew on those as well. Best to get one that has stainless steel bottom and ramps.

Excellent cage for a Chinchilla. Ours is very happy there. We bought tiles from Home Depot and put shavings on newspaper on the floors. Wheels could come off, but not too sure you'd want to put it on a table. It's a tall cage.

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

No definitely not big enough for chinchillas. It's just the size of a regular hamster cage, just taller so they have room to exercise

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

It's pretty sturdy but I could see it cracking. Also, depending on the threat size it may not be a good fit. The opening is ideal for small to medium size kibble.

I have a Chihuahua with a short snout who only eats 1/4 cup at each feeding. The medium sized bowl would hold plenty of food but it was too deep. Otherwise this bowl would be great for dogs who eat too fast and get sick.

It says for small animals so I would think it would be ok. Does not say exactly Chinchilla, so cannot say yes for sure.

I believe the small coral bowl would be best. My golden would gulp his food whole until we got this style. It is well worth the money and he is now the last to finish eating.

I have used this for my Chinchilla for years and have never had any issues.

I bought it for my daughters chinchilla cage because they chewed th plastic one I believe it's welded and I thought it was pretty sturdy. It worked well for chinchillas Hope this helps.

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 bought one for my black lab that ate her 2cups of food in less than 30s. This bowl is fantastic for dry food, but I don't think it would work well for wet food. The grooves are quite deep and are designed for dry food
