Hello!
I'm new here. I just purchased a cage. It's around 50 inches tall (I still need to clean it a little). I'm going to use fleece bedding for the bottom, but I wasn't sure what to do for the levels. Should I take them out completely and just put in wood shelves? Or should I keep the wire, and put fleece bedding on top?
Also, I'm unsure about the ramps. Are they necessary? I've seen some lovely cages here that just have different wood shelves and no ramps. If I take out the ramps completely and add some wood shelves spaced so the chinchillas could easily jump from one shelf to the next, would that work?
I don't have any chinchillas yet. I'm going to be purchasing two of them in around a month, and I want to make sure they will have the perfect setup first before I even get them home.
I still need to purchase a chin spin or flying saucer for their cage. I already have a fleece hammock, fleece hanging tunnel, glass food dish, glass water bottle, blue sparkle dust, bath house, and other essentials. So I'm almost already prepared. I only need to get some other little things. I already even have Oxbow timothy hay and orchard grass since I also have guinea pigs.
Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated! I want them to be very happy! I already love this forum!
