I have been thinking about my housing lately.
Would it be wrong to keep pet-only chinchillas in runs? (closed holes of course)
I have 7 chinchillas and all but two live alone.
The ferret nations take up a lot of room and it is and is a lot of upkeep when the chins jump around a bit, but for the most part are always in their tunnels/huts.
Not that I mind the upkeep, but I'm just weighing my options and have been looking to downsize the housing. I wouldn't keep my pair in the run, I have an extra cage that's big enough for two to live happily in.
I've never seen the runs in person, but are they big enough for something like this?
I'd also look into purchasing a playpen do they could run and play in the evenings and longer on cleaning days.
