Hello everyone! New chi owner here, been wanting to adopt for several years and finally did I work at a rabbit rescue and we had a family surrender their adorable baby 'chilla this weekend because they pretty much live on the road and discovered the chinchilla wasn't particularly suited to their life style (to be quiet honest, from what the person who took him in said I think they didn't have a cage and just had him free roaming in their camper 24/7). Usually the local chinchilla rescue picks up any chins we get but I fell in love with him the minute he came up running to me to say hi and he ended up coming home with me the same day
Right now I have a cage I borrowed from the rescue, but I have to give it back soon. I'm absolutely green with envy after going through the entire fn club tread and so wish I could have one! Unfortunately I'm a broke college student who works less 25 hours a week so I don't see one popping up here anytime soon xD For now I'm settling for a 30"x17"x30"cage I found on craigslists (biggest cage I could find within my current budget).
I won't be able to pick this up until Saturday but I'm already planning to replace the plastic shelves with home made wood ones and adding hammocks. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to decorate it or make it interesting so he doesn't get bored? I know the little guys love jumping around, so how much stuff can I add in there without making it too cluttered? This cage is not permanent, as soon as I can afford a ferret nation I will order one and he will also be getting lots of play time outside the cage. Would love to see pictures of your set up if you have a similar cage
