Your chinchilla is so cool elmomommyto2
Are they really quick? I often see chipmunks for sale, but the just move around their enclosure too quickly!!! If they ever got out I'd never get them back
My dad kept chinchillas when he was a kid. Unfortunately back then though they bred them for their little coats . . . . if you know what I mean
But speaking as a
"Gerbil professional" for a moment
Yours don't look very old hangman. Maybe 3-6 months? Are they both the same sex (I'm guessing from their names that they are both ladies
)
My best bit of advice for a good night's sleep is to put the cage in your closet at night, or at least in the top shelf of your wardrobe
That way you can close the door on them, and get a chance of sleeping whilst they are chewing!!!! That's what I always did
Just make sure the door doesn't close airtight
I have got to tell you the coolest thing I did with my Gerbils . . . . .
I got a big fish aquarium (3-4 ft long) and filled it half-full with peat/compost pressed down really hard. I then put 4 or 5 gerbils in there (with the aquarium lid on!) and they dug their own tunnels and made a
Gerbil city
It was fantastic to watch, and they lived in there for years. All I had to do was add some more bedding material occasionally, or stick in some newspaper - which they shredded up. Every week or so they dragged out their old bedding to be chucked away.
You can watch them digging their tunnels through the glass sides, and it is a really cool (and pretty natural) way to keep them if you have the space
