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 an endless stream of people still 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 everyday life so that the chinchilla can grow up healthily?
Golden Chinchilla
Chinchilla food supplies:
Food bowl: There are many kinds of chinchillas; if you are frugal, 1-3 Yuan can be done, or you can find a shallower porcelain cup from home; you can also use it as a food bowl for chinchillas. The porcelain cup fell and accidentally injured the chinchilla.
Drinking fountain: Please use this price as a reference. There are many types of drinking fountains. I suggest that quality should be the main focus of the choice of drinking fountains. , If the drinking fountain leaks, it is easy to get 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 suitable 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 is to buy a good water bottle at once rather than overspend.
Chinchilla cleaning supplies:
Bath sand: bath sand must be purchased for Chinchillas; buy one bag at a time; it can be used for a long time. Because the bath 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 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: Both wood chips and cat litter are cheap, but wood chips are not easy to deodorize, and cat litter is easier to absorb odors; newspapers can also be used as chinchilla bedding materials, which have 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 supplies, nor do you need to pursue new chinchilla supplies; 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.
