My friend thinks it's safe for chinchillas, but I am not so sure, as I have never seen the product before and the description isn't very descriptive... Do you guys know if it's safe?

Its a dog toy and no use for a chin!

oh wow, never seen that before.

its made of fleece, which is the safest fabric. all those pieces are obviously held together so i just wonder what kind of fabric THAT is. if its something they can ingest and get caught in their stomachs, it could be a problem. the fleece itself is fine though.

if it was me, id just stick to solid fleece. there's a fleece apple and banana in the small animal area. theyre rabbit toys, but i have both for Gizmo.

My concern would be if it came apart: they could choke or ingest the individual fleece pieces. Plus, it's really hard to tell if it's held together with glue or anything.

Chins would just cuddle with it, anyway. There are members on here who sell safe cuddle buddies....
