Do you think that a 141 is plenty of room for 1 chinchilla? Are the much bigger in person that they look in pictures?

I have two chins in a seperated FN 142 right now, and they seem pretty happy. Lots of room to jump around, room for a wheel, a hutch, a hammock, etc. And yes, they are HUGE in person.
I wouldn't put two in there, but one is fine.

I currently have two in the top portion of a FN 142 and they have plenty of room even with all of the things I have in there. However, they also will be 11 weeks tomorrow so they are not full grown. I have seen people have pairs in one level of the FN 142 though and they never seem overly squished. I plan to open up the whole cage for the girls though once they're a bit older. They're too young for all that cage yet.

141 is definitely big enough for one chinchilla.
but i like bigger so i have one chinchilla in a 142 lol.

I have 3 FN141's (half of a 142) that hold a pair in each. There's plenty of room.

Thanks you guys! I've never seen one in person, but I'm going to have my brother-in-law make tons of shelves and ledges!

you can always add to it later if you want to.

Well, the people with the 142 finally got back to me. They want $50(since I have to drive an hour to get it) for it and it's in pretty good shape. Just a little rust. Nothing I can't get off. It's in much better shape then the 141 someone would sell me for $60 which had a ton of rust and the pan was bowed. I figure I'll go with the cheaper one with more room picking it up on Tuesday. Can't wait

What a good find! You lucky you found it so cheap! You should post pictures of it once you get it all set up

 

[Chub_Chub]

That's a great find for $50!

 

[smhluvsmh]

Great job! That gives her more room to play and you more room to decorate!

 

[Katie_2013]

I know, I'm so excited!

 

[Katie_2013]
