Around sometime next week I'll be a new chinchilla pet owner.
And even though I've learned what I can through research on resourceful pages from the internet and gotten useful advice from my boyfriend, who also owns a chinchilla, I'm still not sure over what to do when it comes to bedding.
I've read some past threads on here and everyone seems to be a big fan of fleece.
Except I'm not sure if I should go with that option.
I've seen some of the custom made things some people on here have made, and I really like it. Except I would like to learn for myself to make it inexpensive.
If anyone can help me with that I'd appreciate it.
And the only reason I'm so worried is because the way my chinchilla's breeder has accustomed him to, isn't fleece. More like Aspen bedding. And I only want him to be comfortable in his new home. So far I have everything he will be needing. Even a cage that I got from my boyfriend, since his chinchilla has outgrown it. And its a decent size. His chinchilla had freedom to jump around every once in a while, but he upgraded to something similar to a FN cage.
Any who, my issues is only the bedding. Fleece or no fleece. Potty training or not.
Also, my boyfriend's chinchilla chewed up her bedding, if I'm not mistaken it was the carefree brand. Its soft and its usually what some pet owners use with hamsters. Any advice for him too?.
I know I may be asking a lot, I just need some guidance in this area.
