I currently have a few on my main channel but I'll be making a chinchilla one soon (The world needs more chinchilla videos!!!)

After watching the video, I would just like to suggest a couple of things...

You should look into the ChinSpin, Silver Surfer, or Flying Saucer for exercise wheels. I know that you are aware that plastic can be unsafe, so that's good that you're keeping an eye on that, but also, wheels at pet stores that are advertised as chinchilla wheels are too small for most chins. It curves their spines too much, and can cause issues later in life. 15"-16" is the recommended size for a safe chinchilla wheel.

I'd also like to point out that most users are very against exercise balls, and often refer to them as death balls. Because they are not well ventilated, a chin can overheat very easily, and very quickly. It is also really unsanitary if feces and urine are falling on the chin's coat. And then there is also the worry about the spine curving. I know you are protecting your apartment from damage, I am in the same situation! I suggest covering mouldings with cardboard or fleece, or purchasing an exercise pen.

I was about to call them ball a "Deathball" but you did that for me Minccino. I have one and my chinchillas never liked them. They would try to get out by biting the ball instead running around. I didn't want the money to go to waste so I got creative and put there toys in them!
