General Chat / Bedding- Soft Sorbent

« on: August 12, 2009, 01:43:47 PM »

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone knew if the Soft-Sorbent with Lavender bedding is ok to use in my chinchilla's cage. I know some things with scents are not good for the little guys, but didn't know if this qualified.  Please let me know! Thanks.

Thank you! Yeah- the accessories you see in his cage are from when I originally got him, so thank you for the tips. The picture of him with tape in the background- I had placed him in a huge plastic tote temporarily when I first got him home so I could clean his cage- it was in such a bad state. Its was by no means a permanent place for him, and I had another friend watching him to be safe while I cleaned. Can I get the pine wood at any home improvement store? Thanks so much!

Here is a picture of the cage. I'll also attach one of him.

I've thought about building him a cage but I don't think I could be handy enough for that! Chewy is probably 3-5 years old, but I'm not quite sure because he's been passed between a couple owners before he got to me. Poor guy. His cage measures L30xW15xH17. Way too small. I'm trying to attach pictures but having some troubles. I'll try in a different message, hopefully that works. Oh- and the spacing is 1/2' on the floor, but this weekend I'm going to get him something to be able to stand on to rest his feet.

Hello! I just joined this site not too long ago after becoming a proud new owner of my chinchilla (please don't laugh at the name- it was my daughter's idea!) Chewy! I practically rescued Chewy from a friend that was getting ready to give him to a pet store like Uncle Bills to get rid of him. She said she, and I quote, 'developed an allergy to him'. I think she was just tired of taking care of him.  Well anyway, he's home with me now and I'm giving him great care! I made sure to read up on what he needs and everything. I have a huge problem though. I was not aware of the cage he would be coming to me in, which is way too small for an animal that likes to jump and play! I feel bad for him.  I let him out to run as much as I can, which is a great new experience for him because I know my friend never let him out. I want to get him a new cage, however funds are short at the moment- I didn't realize how expensive these could be. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could anyone help? I really appreciate you taking the time to read this! Thanks.
