yea,so im getting two standard grey ones,they black ones are $200 dollars each,but if i get lots of money,ill get them too,but the cage there in is huge,and theres 4 in it so yea its made for rabbits,but the chinchillas looked fine in them,the pet store told me all information such as when it last visted the vet,the vet that they see,etc.the cage is really cheap since its not HUGE like a 2 unit fn but its the size of a 1 unit fn/cn but i little wider,and taller,so yea its a good bargin,they are male and female i think,the pet person couldnt identify,but they said the males cannot reproduct as they did somethin to them.they are soo cute,not to old(12 weeks)the wheel is giagantic,and i saw 2 running on it at the same time.im thinkin of making a whole second level by aranging the shelves in a uncommon way,the shelves are wood.the chinchillas seem fine in a smaller sized cage,not to small,so yea.
They put a single level cage in my cart and I told them that I thought they needed a multilevel home they said "No, they are ground animals, they don't jump well". I asked if they like company and I was told "No, they should not be around any other chinchilla as they fight all the time and they hate their own kind" (Ok, well why do you have them housed together if that's the case?) When all was done, and this was the kicker where we just had to up and leave because it made us so ticked. We were looking through the cart and we realized that there was nothing for them to chew on. We asked if they needed chew toys and get this, they said "No, wood is dangerous for them to be chewing on. They don't need to chew, It's a myth that their teeth keep growing. We don't offer our chinchillas anything to chew on and they are fine." :impatient: My mom lost it, she probably knows more about chinchillas than I do because she gets "bored" at work and researches about chinchillas. She asked for a manager and told the lady "We have 2 chinchillas, all the **** you have told us is bull and will eventually kill the poor thing." She told them we would never be back to buy anything from them ever again, and we haven't. We now get our dog food from a feed store, I get lizard food from a reptile feed vendor and have it shipped to me, we get chinchilla food from Susan (AZChins), i make my own toys, I use fleece as bedding, and they have a huge safe cage now. The only thing I buy from a pet store is Oxbow hay since it's the only kind I can find that they will eat, and we go to Petsmart for that. I HATE pet stores with a passion now. Mom told me I should work at that Petco and give people right information, but then realized I would probably get fired because I would send people elsewhere.
