Q & A / Soon to be owner with a few questions
« on: February 12, 2010, 02:49:25 PM »
So basically my girlfriend and I are planning on getting a couple chinchillas coming up in a couple months and I had a few questions:
1) I want to make a cage for them and I basically have the whole thing figured out except the bottom. I don't want a wire mesh bottom because I don't want to hurt their little feet, but I don't know what to use for the hard bottom. I feel like metal is too loud, plastic isn't durable enough, wood isn't easy to clean... are there any other options?
2) We're planning on gettin 2 females from a breeder. So they'll be between 3-6 months old. Is it ok to raise them in the same cage from the beginning? I've heard that females can be territorial and I don't want there to be any issues.
I think that's it for now, I'm sure I'll think of more later.
