Thanks again for the advice, I've decided to buy a proper large chinchilla cage after all!

Thanks for the advice, I won't consider keeping chins running free in my room anymore! 

I'll have a look at getting a cage instead, might be room for a big rabbit hutch sized one...

Cages / Keeping chinchillas without a cage?

« on: February 25, 2010, 08:12:54 AM »

Hello! I'm new to chinchilla forums and this is my first post. 

I don't actually own any chins but have wanted to for years; my parents don't like pets and would never allow me to keep them at their house.

However at last I have my own place and I'm looking to adopt a pair of chins.

Only problem is that I'm living in a shared house and would have to keep them in my bedroom.

There is no room for a large cage, so I was wondering if it would be possible for me to-

- Keep chins in a small(ish) cage and try to to give them as much time out and about the house as possible.

OR

- Keep chins living free in my bedroom, giving them a space on top of a wardrobe as a bed.

I think I might be being a bit unrealistic, I'm guessing that chins will chew wires and make a general mess if left alone in a room?
Or is there a way to chinchilla-proof a room? 



Any advice would be greatly appreciated, even if it is to say that its all a bad idea and I should wait till I get a new house with more space.

Will
