Because of Hayao Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro, chinchillas became popular. In addition, the number was scarce and the price began to be high, but there was still an endless stream of people who wanted to raise them. , if you raise a chinchilla, you will be responsible for it. What daily necessities should we prepare for the chinchilla's daily life, so that the chinchilla can grow up healthily?

Golden Chinchilla

Chinchilla Food Supplies:

Food Bowl: Dragon There are many kinds of cat food bowls. If you are frugal, you can get it for 1-3 yuan, or you can find a shallower porcelain cup from home to make a food bowl for chinchillas. On the clapboard, be sure to do a good job of fixing it to prevent the porcelain cup from falling and accidentally hurting the chinchilla.

Drinking fountains: Please use this price as a reference. There are many types of drinking fountains. In the choice of drinking fountains, I suggest that the quality should be the main focus. , If the drinking fountain leaks, it is easy to wet the chinchilla's fur and cause skin diseases, and it will also damage the sanitary environment in the cage; if the water nozzle of the drinking fountain does not flow smoothly, it is not good for chinchillas to not drink water for a long time; the design is unscientific The water bottle is easy to be bitten by chinchillas. My rule of thumb is to buy a good water bottle at once rather than overspend.

Chinchilla cleaning supplies:

Bath sand: bath sand must be purchased exclusively for Chinchillas, one bag at a time can be used for a long time . Because the bath sand can be used repeatedly, it can be sterilized when it is often exposed to the sun or placed in the microwave oven.

Tub: You can choose a small organizer or a small plastic bucket instead. There are also chinchilla-specific bathtubs, but sometimes it is not as convenient to use as our homemade chinchilla bathtubs. I don’t think there is a perfect chinchilla-specific bathtub in China. Let’s look forward to it together.

Bedding material: wood chips and cat litter are both cheaper, but wood chips are not easy to deodorize, and cat litter is easier to absorb odor; newspapers can also be used as chinchilla bedding material, which has good water absorption and low cost, but Because there is ink on the newspaper, when using the newspaper as the bedding material, it must be placed flat to prevent the chinchilla from biting.

You don't need to buy high-end Chinchilla products, nor do you need to pursue new Chinchilla products, just follow the principle of safety and practicality. If you are interested, you can also make furniture for Chinchillas yourself, which saves money and has a lot of fun.
