Is this product safe for my chinchilla?
« on: February 28, 2017, 10:59:47 AM »

Hi all,

I recently purchased a new house for my chinnie and wanted to make sure it is safe (for it uses a soft blanket-like material), since I have heard that some materials can attribute to fur rings.  Below is the link to the house I purchased off of Amazon.  Thank you!

I'm not really concerned about hair rings. Just keep an eye out for damage by chewing. If you see damage it's probably not safe because material can be ingested and cause bowel obstructions, or death by hanging from tattered cloth.
I know I feel like I'm the messenger of doom here. On the light side it looks intriguing and I know chinchillas have done well with woven fleece hammocks and huts. This kind of material is usually not normally used in the construction of chin products.
