Hey guys!

I'm sure given the joint nature of this forum this has been asked before, but is it safe and/or advisable to arrange a playdate for a hedgehog and a chinchilla? I'm a new hedgehog owner and my friend is a new chinchilla owner, and we would love to have them in the same room/interact, but didn't want to do so without getting some general advice.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
 
Chinchillas and hedgehogs require completely different environments. I would advise against a play date.
 
It's never a good idea to let different species intermingle. Chinchillas are also territorial and it is not uncommon when introducing them to one another for aggression issues.
 
I know this post is a couple weeks old but I have to comment a big no to this one. I have limited experience with chins but tons with hedgies and this just spells disaster. I am sure someone somewhere has done it with no problem but that would be a rare exception to the rule.
