Housing for colony of 4-5 chinchillas?

[Paul]

Hi everyone, just made an account on this forum after many weeks of looking over past threads on various topics! A very good forum which has been my main source of information as far as my chinchillas are concerned.

I'm spending a lot of time looking into housing 4-5 chinchillas together and how I would go about it. Something I'm stuck on is a fair cage size for that amount of chins? And where I'd be able to buy said cage considering I'm in the UK, I haven't seen any of the ferret nations around which I see spoken about by the US members. Even the biggest chinchilla cages I can find online just don't look big enough to me, so any information on a decent sizing would be very much appreciated. They do also get a good 3-6 hours of run around time in a large room under supervision, every night.

Thanks!
Paul

Have you had a look at John Hopewell's cages? He's got a massive variety, so you might be able to find something you like there.

With that amount of playtime, I wouldn't see why you couldn't look into like a triple stack ferret nation or I know there was a thread in here that showed how to to make a ferret nation double wide.

Thanks for the replies ! Unfortunately I haven't seen anywhere that sells ferret nation cages here in the UK, kickster.

I'm on John Hopewell's site now, exactly the kind of cages I was looking for! Thank you.
