Hi there! I'm a new chinchilla owner! I adopted two little guys from a not great home (I don't think.) I think they have cedar bedding in the cage so I ordered some aspen and their bottle has a rubber ducky in it! Bad news!
I also don't think they've ever had timothy hay before. They went absolutely nuts when we introduced it to them.
One question though, I don't really want to use bleach to disinfect the water bottle or their cage. Especially since the bottles are so hard to clean. I know vinegar is a good alternative household disinfectant and less toxic to humans than bleach. Are there any known issues? What do you use to clean the bottle?
I know I sound totally neurotic, we've only had them for a few days so I want to make sure they get sorted.
This is my little mosaic, Vincent:
The other, Christopher, is standard . He's more skittish and older.
