Question 1

What supplies do chinchillas need?

Accepted Answer

The supplies chinchillas need include a roomy, chew-proof and preferably tall wire cage, a water bottle and tip-proof bowls for drinking and feeding, and at least one hideout or nest box for a feeling of safety. They also need lots of bedding for the bottom of the cage, a pelleted food formulated made especially for chinchillas, a hay rack that's always full, and occasional small snacks of fresh veggies and fruit. You should put some toys, including chew toys and tasty chew sticks, inside the enclosure along with a solid surface wheel for exercise. Chinchillas also need a dust bath with bathing dust to keep themselves clean and healthy. Finally, a litter box will help you go longer between bedding changes and help reduce odor with regular scooping, but be aware that even litter-trained chinchillas will usually urinate but not defecate inside the box.

Question 2

How do you take care of chinchillas?

Accepted Answer

Take care of your chinchillas by setting up a safe, roomy habitat for them with all the essential chinchilla supplies inside. Once you've covered basic housing, food, rest, play and elimination needs, try to get your pets used to being handled by going slow and petting them carefully. Chinchillas are naturally active, playful and very smart, but some of them will be more interested in play than snuggling, and they are not appropriate pets for young children. Chinchillas can live solo or in pairs, and they tend to be happy playing in their habitats or exploring in chinchilla-proofed areas without too much attention or fuss. Just cover their basic needs, give them as much interaction as they seem to want, and you should have an easy time caring for them.

Question 3

How do I set up Autoship on my chinchilla supplies?

Accepted Answer

Set up Autoship for your chinchilla supplies when you order by simply clicking the Autoship option at checkout. You can set the frequency of your shipments here, too, and change quantities and shipment timing whenever you want on Chewy.com. You can also easily cancel Autoship if your needs should ever change. Never run out of chinchilla food, litter, bedding or bathing dust again when you use Chewy's Autoship!
