Can I used it for a chinchilla? any chew problems?

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.

Hi, I think you would be safe using it for a chinchilla. Our rabbit is approx. 7 lbs. and she fits in it just fine. She doesn't try to chew it at all. I don't think she likes to chew plastic. It comes with anchors too, so they can't move it or flip it over.

Unless your chinchilla already has a penchant for chewing on plastic items, then you should have no problems using this. If they do chew on plastic items, I would skip this and consider one of the eco litter pans that can be eaten.

I don't think you're supposed to let them chew on it. You just brush their teeth with it and put it away. If they inadvertently bite down on it, I don't think that should be any issue.

Yes! We use this with our 19-lb cockapoo (cocker spaniel/poodle mix). If you're really worried about dosage, you can split the chews in half.

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.

Yes! I give them to my Chinnies, my Hamsters and my Rats as well. They've all been chewing these for about a year.

Yes I think it could be used for a chinchilla. I always use bedding in the bottom but my guinea pigs urinate and poop alot!

Our rabbit has done the same thing. Rabbits love to chew on anything available. I googled it and I found you should keep the bunny busy with toys and other things to keep its mind off of chewing its house!

Yes. I have a 5.5 pound toy poodle and it takes her a while to chew one down. I bought the small ones, and I preferred cutting them in half because it still seemed like too much. It was NOT easy cutting them in half! I've since stopped feeding these to her because they come from China and I'm paranoid about any treats from China, even if they don't have chicken. But to answer your question, yes, I believe they're meant to be that hard. I think that's why they're supposed to be "dental chews". Things that are hard to chew are usually good for scraping tartar off their teeth.

It would be fine to transport the chinchilla to the vet in this carrier. Keep in mind that you would need to be careful of the fact the mesh sides could be chewed. It provides a lot of ventilation. I like the fact that you can open a small area to put just your hand in to give treats or to comfort your pet. The carrier is sturdy and comfortable. It is air line approved also for dogs.

Unsure about gerbils specifically. Purchased for my chinchilla and she loved it! No apparent harm experienced.

Yes, you can remove the wire on the bottom, but the only thing is that there is a little space between the tray and the cage. It shouldn't be a problem if your chinchillas are full-grown.

I think this could work for rats as well, especially if your rats are used to chewing on those colored blocks or wooden sticks. Sizing wise, it can be compared to a tennis ball, so it would be too big for mice and depending on the size of your rats can either be a little too big or just right (as it is for my chinchilla). It is a very unique chew toy, so if you wanted to give rats a new experience, it's worth a try for the price.

I would recommend getting a bigger one. I bought this for my chinchilla when he was little, but now that he's full grown he has a bigger cage.

I just wrote you a long answer and my computer ate it :-( Long story short - if your dog uses it correctly (rolling it around), it should be fine. If he (she?) is big enough to get his jaws around it (it's about the size of a canteloupe), he could definitely chew and crack it. I recommend the Kong Wobbler. It's quieter, more interesting in its movements, is shaped and weighted so that it would be more difficult for your dog to chew it and it's made out of tougher plastic. FWIW.

It's doing great for my rats' tiny feet so far. The bars of the grate are close together, so I'm sure a chinchilla would fare well also.

I think that it will work for a chinchilla if you put a bottom on the cage and reinforce the ramp.

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
