first off HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :laughitup: That picture is HILARIOUS, I thought my kids were bad, but Delilah takes the cake... or the pizza ;-)
I've seen a lot of improvement in Delilah's set up since you started posting pictures, I know you're working hard to give her the best life possible. Chinchillas are such a learning experience. I think most of us got sucked into the supplies sold at petstores and it took awhile to figure out what was and wasn't appropriate. I'm sure you never imagined you'd have to make such an investment in supplies when you first picked her up, because she seemed to come with everything she needed. I also had that hay rack; a good subsititue is a plain old glass drinking cup. Lay it on its side, and stuff with hay. You probably already have one in you cupboard, if not they're less then a buck at any walmart, meijer, etc.. As far as the wheel and the cage, I know you're saving up for more chin safe ones. If you ever notice a problem with the wheel, or if it starts to pop off, you can always remove it. She'll be fine if she's wheel-less for a few months. She may throw some tantrums at first but she'll adjust, then be SOOO happy when she finally gets her surfer. You're on the right track Crystal, and I know you're doing your best to be an awesome chin mom.
