A little after Christmas, my father has a lot of vacation time and said he would be willing to build a cage for them (both the kit and mom, and a separate cage for my other chinchilla which will probably be next to theirs, but they won't be able to see each other). It will be in our basement which is insulated so it's warm in the winter, but will stay cool in the summer. We have a lot of room in the basement so I hope that there will be a big play area around their cage so they can just hop out when it's their own play times.
That being said, any good tips on personalized cages if anyone has idea? I gave my father a list of websites I believed would be helpful, and gave him a lot of information I read involving safe woods, heights that are safe, different materials, etc. He is very good with carpentry so I know he'll do an excellent job at making sure it is stable and safe.
The kit weighed at 122 grams yesterday (13th), but I did not yet weigh her today. She is very active and is very curious. She isn't as shy as mom when in comes to me being at the door or adding some new things to the cage since the kit is a bit bigger now. The mom takes a minute to realize that it's okay to approach me, but the kit runs straight for the door. Over all, everything is great and I know can get through the night without waking up more than once. I'm very happy that everything worked out and that a larger living space will be available for the both of the them and my other chinchilla.
