... not sure if I'll later switch to liners with it.
What are the liners made of?
Are they like piddle pads for dogs?
Are they accessible to the chins?
First mistake...putting cage beside his bed!
That was the second mistake ... chinchillas are nocturnal and need to be where they will not disturb a human's sleep. They can get pretty loud when they are playing at night.

Liners is what I seen on another site...it's a cover made for the tray that is made out of fleece...sort of like a pillow cage if you will...that covers the tray...But not sure if I want to have "laundry" from the chin...when I have enough laundry from having a family with kids...
But I ordered a Bass Tray today...I heard another person on another site has the same cage as I do...and the trays fit real snug inside the cage. And they are metal and also deeper to help with the bedding all over the floor we are dealing with currently...I am going to try and litter train the chin...as mentioned in the magazine area of the forum. See how that fares...
I'm holding off on ordering a second tray...I need to see if my chins will get along. So if they get along I'll order the pan that has the access hole in it for the lower level and they will have run of the entire cage. If they don't...I'll order a full tray that will go on the bottom level of the cage. And keep the Ferret Nation cage simply as two cages in one. Due to my having the full tray without the access hole in it currently on the top level of the cage.
As for the environment...my son's room is the quietest room in the house. Due to they have a rec. room in the basement that is finished off. With french doors leading to the patio from that room...which is opened during warmer months and we get a lot of neighborhood kids that have summer houses on the lake where we live. My son once asleep sleeps like a log...When my son is home during the day...the only time you'll catch him in his room is if he's reading a book. I wanted to put the chinchilla in the quietest room...with the least commotion. So I hope I hope it works out...
