Chinchillas

When it comes to Chinchilla Cages, we recommend going for the largest one you can afford and that you have space for. Chinchillas are bigger than lots of other pets such as hamsters and gerbils plus they can be extremely active so the extra room will be very much appreciated (you will be glad you bought a bigger cage when you see your chinchillas madly tearing round the inside of it!)

Chinchillas prefer high cages. The ideal setup is with a large tall cage containing nesting boxes at the top, a number of shelves hammocks and toys and plenty of room for extras like a chinchilla wheel. If you plan to breed your chinchillas then it is more sensible to go for a low-medium height cage in case the babies climb up and fall down again. On our site, all chinchilla cages over £25 will get FREE UK delivery included!

Wodent Wheels, for small animals. Wodent Wheels feature a unique design with a safe solid running surface and a support stand without dangerous pinch areas. Available in three sizes: 8-inch diameter (junior), 11-inch diameter (senior), and 12-inch diameter (extra wide - wobust).

The only exercise wheel recommended and approved by the ASPCA during their Seal of Approval program (1999-2006).

Rodents are attracted to the wheel's entry holes - a toy they are guaranteed to love. Hamsters avoid broken legs and strangulations. Sugar gliders go absolutely nuts on these wheels. Even rats love running since they don't get their feet hurt and their tails whacked by unsafe axle supports. The semi-enclosed design and the solid rear wall also makes rodents, who are natural "wall-huggers," feel much safer as they run.

Wodent Wheels are easily disassembled for cleaning and are constructed of tough, safe plastic with a stable base of heavy-gauge painted (baked-on powder coated) steel. Wodent Wheels are low cost, much safer and quieter than conventional wire exercise wheels, and have a clean, simple design using recycled and recyclable plastics. If they aren't being attacked by chewers, with a little care Wodent Wheels will last for years. These are quality items made in the United States.

Wodent Wheels are not recommended for chinchillas who are dedicated chewers. If you decide safety is paramount and you'll live with the chewing, we do sell replacement front panels.

Three sizes are available as follows:

Wodent Wheel Junior (small). 8" diameter, 2.6" wide, 2.1" entry holes. Overall height 9.1". Best for hamsters, small sugar gliders and larger mice.
