Clean your
chinchilla’s cage on a regular basis so that its droppings and urine don’t have
the chance to accumulate. If you allow your chinchillas to run around your
house, be sure that the environment is completely hazard free. Keep electrical
cables and any toxic substances out of reach. Chinchillas are naturally
inquisitive and will explore objects with their mouth.
Provide
your chinchilla with sufficient bedding material so that it can stay warm and
toasty in its nest box. Timothy hay is recommended as it is high quality and
free of dust; in the event that your chinchilla decides to consume its bedding
material.
If you are
going to be away for a few days or for an extended period of time, find a
reliable and trustworthy person that you can depend on to look after your
chinchillas while you are gone. Check Westheimer Highway 6 animal clinic for more information on pet care.
