You can find them cheap at the thrift stores too.

Petco currently has their Critter Nation cage over $100 less than Petsmart (Petco $239.99 Petsmart $349.99) and if you have Amazon Prime you can get a really good deal ($218.84 with free shipping)...

It says it on the package label.

I thought it might be helpful to add a thread where we can post useful items for chinchillas and their habitats that we find in common stores. There is so much garbage sold out there it could be helpful to point someone in the right direction by telling where and what we currently find in common...

Zoaea, do you have any input as to the original topic of this thread? I am interested in your opinions on it.

Apparently everything I have ever read is entirely false. Allow me to apologize for all the inaccuracies of the world. If you would be ever so kind as to point me in the direction of a professor or anyone who has studied chinchilla genetics on a scholarly level, any quality books written from an...

I have checked everything I could find and the few I have found listed for Iowa either have stopped breeding, no longer exist, or there is no way to contact them. Are there any reputable breeders left in Iowa? I don't have a problem with driving a few hours, but when you live smack dab in the...
