Playpen Help

[karicola]

Hi everyone! I have recently gotten a chinchilla about a month ago and he is only about 6 months old. I have been letting him run around my basement in an enclosed off area but he still has managed to get himself into some trouble. I was looking to get a play pen for him mostly one that has a lot of room for him to run around and possibly for myself to sit inside with him and interact with him. I found two that I really like that I will post the links for and I would greatly appreciate some feedback or suggestions of other playpens. Thanks !!!

I wouldn't keep him in the basement , it can get damp down there and they don't like that . I use regular pen enclosure . They will run the perimeter and look for a way out , and they can climb . just make sure there is nothing there for him to get caught on or hurt himself . I keep the cages in that play pen area so she can go home when ever she wants .

What size enclosure would be best?
