I agree having your mom involved would be great and its very good that you are doing all this research before you decide on getting a chinchilla!!! they can live 15-20 years so a lot of time is involved and planning and having the right materials is an important step....by researching the way...

my kids bought the bump it.....but it kept falling out and then you could see the silly plastic piece....we also tried the oxyclean powder....and when I used that even if you wipe a brand new clean thing down it will leave the rag grimy like you wiped it in dirt...I swear there is something in...
