lowbugethamilton I agree, if your going to get a chinchilla, then you need to put in time and effort to research and buy them the stuff that they need. If you don’t do those things then your just making your chinchilla live in a poorly life style and it won’t live as much probably

!ATTENTION CHIN OWNERS! Please do NOT use any paper bedding. If the chinchilla ingests it it will expand in their stomach and can cause blockages, bloat, and then death. If you decide to use a loose bedding it has to be Aspen shavings or if need be Kiln dried pine shavings but that is it. Everything aside from those and fleece and tile are extremely dangerous for them. Hope thats helpful!

@@cryst4lm00n3 You aren't stupid it's okay! Carefresh or any of that bedding that bedding generally used for hamsters is not good for chinchillas. Like the original poster stated, if your chinchilla ingests any of that bedding it will swell inside them. That's the whole point of the bedding: to absorb all the moisture. However, swelling inside your chinchilla can cause blockages and can lead to death. Your best route would be to use either pine bedding or fleece. The smell of pine blocks out the smell of chinchilla pee well, but it can be quite messy as your chin can kick it out of the cage. Fleece is great because it is neat and looks nice, but I find myself having to change his fleece more often then I did when I had pine bedding because it doesn't block the odor too well!

Chinchillas naturally poop alot. It can increase depending on how much food they eat and the amount and kind of treats you give. They should eat 1-2 tablespoons for food and at most 1 treat a day. Treats should not be commercial or ANY fruits, veggies, wheat, and oat product. Exceptable treats are stuff like rose hips and goji berries
