will all the supplies cost a lot, do they need a big cage , do they smell,and should i start out with buying a baby or an adult
Answers:
you can find chinchillas for $60-200, depdning on the bredder. the cage needs to be a bit bigger than a rabiit cage, good ones are usually sound $100.
you'll need ledges for the chinchilla to hop on, as well as a house for them to sleep in, and some toys, which will be around $50.
you need to give your chinchilla hay and sand to roll in, which would cost about $15 each month per chinchilla.
i got my chinchilla when she was 4 months old, which is when they technically become an adult, and she's been great. if you get a chin that is too old it may be stubborn and more prone to biting you, but babies can also be not willing to train if they're too young.
find any local breeders, pet stopres, or rescues near you that have chinchillas and seeif you can play with one for a while and ask the staff questions before you decide if a chinchilla is right for you. they live 10-20 years, so it's a big decision!
They do need a big cage, but I would think to get everything you need plus chinchilla you might be looking at about $300. They are a lot of fun and really cute. I had a male chinchilla and he was very friendly and would sit on my shoulder as I walked around the house.
i have a chinchilla and.
the cage does need to be big...that cost a lot.
food and stuff to sleep and play in aren't that much.
they don't smell.
and it really doesn't matter what you start off with an adult or a baby.
which ever you like the best.
good luck.
can you help me with my problem too.
thanks.
You shouldnt get either until you learn more about them.
Thats like a mom adopting a baby and knowing nothin' about them.
You should educate yourself more on them
before you get one...
so it can get the care it deserves
Yes, to all of the above. They need a reasonably sized cage, mine is in a wire 2x3 cage. Wire is what I and most people suggested, this way that can't gnaw their way out of the cage. Chins themselves aren't cheap. The food and dust bath you 'll need for them aren't either! Just for a 2 lb bag I pay almost $5-6! They don't stink and they are reasonably quiet. They are nocturnal, so they do squeak a little bit at night sometimes... If you want to be able to handle your chin a lot, i recommend getting a baby. Adults are already set in their stubborn ways and have a bigger potential of biting! They are great pets and SOOOO soft!! enjoy if you get one!!
yes they are.I would look and find alot of information on the web or from books before getting a chinchilla or chinchillas.
