Hi.
What do you think about this toy for chins?
Please let me know of your opinion.

Also, do you think that chins would like this next box? I have different kinds of hideout for my chins (wood, fleece) but I was thinking about getting a few of these too.

Also, this corner shelf. I am going to get long wooden shelves made for my chin cages soon, but I thought that my chins might enjoy these corner shelves.

The only swing my chins every used was a death ball swing, the ones like you show one time they jump on it and that is it, they don't try again.

The chinchillas.com nest box I would also not see my chins using, they like to be enclosed and have 2-3 exits like the timber hide houses.


I have also tried corner shelves and I found the shape like that made it hard for them to actually jump up on, the head hits the corner of the cage. And I don't like shelves that have bars like that, it could be a broken leg hazard.

The sleep ledge is ok, but spendy.
 
I have the sleep ledge. My chin uses it alot from getting to places. But i don't know about the other things
 
$9.69 for a sleeping ledge?! :wacko:

I would just make your own ledges. It's incredibly simple, and the supplies to make an entire cage worth will only be around $15. Lowes or Home Depot will cut the wood for you, and then all you would need is a drill. I got one that works great for shelf making for $50 at Lowes.
