Hello, i have just signed up to the forum, and i am a fairly new chinchilla owner, i have had my 2 for about 4 months.
I let my chinchillas out for about 1 hour to sometimes 4 hours a day for a run around, but on the days i can only let them out for a hour i feel really bad because i don't think they can let off much steam in the cage they have.
The cage their in is the one pets at home sell, i was assured it was big enough but i really am not convinced.
I have been looking at other cages, and i really like the aurora 600 mainly because it really nice and spacious and looks quite nice too. Anyway is this a good cage, or would they be better suited to something else, i was also hoping to get another chin at some point, so would this cage be big enough for 3 chins, or not. I figured i could keep the cage they are in at the moment and use that cage for the new one until they know each other well enough to all be housed together.
Sorry so many questions, just trying to do the best by my chins, but im very new to all of this.
