Are you planning to get a pet chinchilla? If yes then let me tell you that before you go ahead and buy a pet for yourself you need to do a thorough research about their behavior and what are their basic needs because only if you understand them you will be able to take care of them and build a house for them.
You might not be aware but houses are really important for animals because they feel comfortable and relaxed when they are in their houses. If you are going to pet a chinchilla you should build or buy a chinchilla house where your pet will stay.
A chinchilla house is very different from houses for other pets because such houses are made as per the requirements and characteristics of the animal.
Chinchillas are native of South America and found in Andes. Since they are rodents from mountainous region they are expert jumpers and move quickly from one place to another. Hence, you need to understand that chinchilla house has to be big in size because it should have ample space for the chinchilla to move inside freely. If you buy smaller house than your pet will not lead a happy life and soon you will start hearing cries of your pet indicating that he or she is not happy.
It is a good idea to have some playing accessories inside chinchilla house because these rodents are very active and they are constantly on the move. Playing items like wheels, swings and ramps will give them something to remain busy and they will enjoy jumping on the wheels and swings that you have installed for them. Additionally, you need to make sure that the house does not have wire mesh flooring as that can injure your chinchilla and it will be tough for you to clean up the floor on regular basis.
