Cages
If you want to order a cage, we suggest one of the Martin’s Cages. Type MARTINS CAGES in the search box on this page. The smallest cage you should consider is the Chinchilla Skyscraper (30″ x 18″ x 36″), but the Chinchilla Highrise (30″ x 18″ x 48″) or the Chinchilla Townhouse (36″ x 30″ x 60″) would be better, depending on your financial situation. Chinchillas enjoy large cages and you will enjoy watching them more when they have lots of room to play. If you get a cage with a slide-out tray, cleanup is much easier. Petsmart has a ferret cage that several of our adoptive families have bought and they seem to like it. Type FERRET CAGES in the search box on this page to see what is currently available. There is only a small problem with many of the ferret cages and that is the plastic clips that hold them together. Most chinchillas will chew off the clips and can escape if you aren’t careful. We recommend that people use a heavy-gauge wire to put the cage together. Many of the ferret cages we’ve seen look like really nice cages and the larger ones provide lots of room for a couple of chinchillas.
