Caging questions

[JessePolicy]

I was told that this cage, http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/8021/chincage.jpg, would be large enough for one or two chins. I was also told that I need to do some reinforcing; making it sturdier, covering open bars and whatnot. If you guys could, maybe give me some good ideas as far as additions and reinforcements to the cage, like shelves, hammocks, etc.

I was told also that I could take out the ramps entirely, and place some wooden shelves over them. Is this really okay? Could they actually jump it or would they prefer it? Should I add more or less shelves anywhere?

Thanks!

I'd be the one that told you all that.

Chinchillas do not need or even use the ramps. And those you have in that cage aren't even ramps, they are ladders and they are an accident waiting to happen.
