Hi everyone
I am getting a chinchilla soon and it's gonna be between 3-4 months old, so not that big. After looked at plenty of cages, I am a bit confused so was hoping to get expert opinion.
I found 3 particular different types I can afford:
A
B

C

Or for bigger image: http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/105926974/chinchillaratdegu-cage-and-accessories.html
My questions are:
1. Between A & B, which is better? One where the cage isn't divided by wire, allowing the chin to jump around or one where I can hang stuff from the dividing panels?
2. Is C tall enough? A lot of the placed I read say height is important as they like to get as high as possible and look down.
I know with A I have to make sure the spacing isn't big enough that the chin's feet would be trapped, and if so could use cardboard or fleece, right?
And with B I need to cover all the plastic bits and bobs with fleece (or replace with wood platforms, but I dunno where to find them here)
I tried finding critternation or ferret nation cages here but the few I have are all over my price range atm.
Any help would be much appreciated.
