[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Chinnies N’ More Aww thank you!💕💕

[@levi13652]

I just got two chinchillas because they needed a home. Your videos have been super helpful for getting things going. I got the chin spin wheel for both after listening to your review and spent about $400 on toys and such for them, most being stuff you have recommended. Thank you for all the help!

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Levi McCargar No problem! Glad to be able to help💕

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Lily Dumbleton That must be exciting and no problem!💕

[@kianabrumbaugh]

Thanks so much for all this information and I am so excited bc it got my parents to say yes to getting a chinchilla last week and I’m getting it tonight after my play rehearsal. Thanks!! I bought the same cage, but, chew toys, and more!!! ❤️

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Kiana Brumbaugh Happy to hear that 💕

[@kianabrumbaugh]

The Chinchilla Notebook thanks sooo much I’m getting him tomorrow because they were almost closed and said it was too late. I had play practice til late at night. I love your video thank youuuu!!

[@Miniae_Cecilia]

So funny you put this video up yesterday, my chin actually finally got a brand new big cage. (had to unfortunately keep her in a smallish bird cage because it was an emergency buy) I do find that bird cages are really good for chinchillas though, she now has a massive parrot cage.

[@willowthechinnie2257]

I will definitely be using your link. I want to support you and your channel💕

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Willow The Chinnie Aww thank you💕💕💕

[@vanessagronock6841]

First I love your channel so much you have inspired me to buy and own a chinchilla and take care of it properly💞💞😁😁

[@kianabrumbaugh]

Vanessa Gronock same I’m getting one tomorrow

[@MotherOfWednesday]

I have two triple critter nations. I absolutely love it and more importantly my rats do too. I stalked Craig's list for months until I found one for sale. I got a DCN for 75 dollars second hand. It had a few wear issues but what I learned from this purchase was that the cage is absolutely worth the retail price. I found another double for sale and eventually bought 2 add ons full price. Eventually I bought the metal pans from Bass equipment. Yes I spent a lot of money, and now have a cage that will last for however long i decide to own small animals (very long time)

[@AnaMartinez-nm1zi]

I was debating on getting this cage for my sugar gliders and removing all the middle trays so it’s just one big space. This video has helped tons!! Thanks

[@TaraAndFriends]

I have a ferret nation that doesn't really fit together right at several places, like the ceiling pops out and half of it at a time will just be sitting on the walls, so I have to fit them back in and it takes a while to fit it right again... I wish that this wasn't a problem, but I also know these are pretty much the best small animal cages available... So maybe I shouldn't complain. I had a flemish giant rabbit in it for three months until he passed away from a bad illness. I washed and bleached the cage down good, rinsed it with a hose... Almost good as new besides the amonia stains... I am getting a chinchilla in a little while, not sure exactly when, but sometime in a month or two. Sorry this is really long, I just need to vent and rant lol! Nobody else in my family other than my older sister cares about chins... But we used to breed them when i was little, Lol!! Sorry for such a long comment!

[@genevieve5078]

I just got a new cage after 2 years I realized i needed a new cage it was small but you helped me come along with caring for a chin

[@wrencastillo4459]

The Chinchilla Notebook, I was wondering if it would be ok to use only one Critternation, because I have one but not two like you..💕

[@shelbyhall3108]

Do you recommend add-on cage or 2 story

[@Alice-td8lj]

Question is there an entire room dedicated to Merlin( I think that’s his name) or is it shared with other things? Just asking for my own placement of the cage.

[@ellieweaver7414]

I think it’s also the laundry room

[@Idk-qh8wm]

Can u do a video on good and bad chinchilla water bottles Just an idea My water bottle is leaking and most are pretty pricey for a water bottle.

[@popnpets8022]

I have some glass bottles from pet co, and they don’t leak they were only like 15 for one and it has lasted a long time. Hope this helps!

[@ducky.3027]

You are the best. Thx for all the help

[@isaiahflores8443]

I have this cage and the most annoying part is having to open the doors ALL THE WAY open so that you can slide the tray out omg

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Isaiah Flores It’s better than struggling with a little door in the middle of the cage that is one square foot. I’ve had cages in the past that I had to take the whole thing apart to get the fleece out from the bottom🤷‍♀️💕

[@kashregester3974]

@@TheChinchillaNotebook fr! All my cages have had small doors that are hard to clean so its more stressful for me

[@hannahlingenfelter735]

I love your channel and your chinchilla. So cute ♥️ I am looking into getting a chinchilla and thanks to you I now know the cage I want ☺️ I will definitely use your Amazon link for this cage and I will make sure to tell everyone I know to also use your link. 👍🏻

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Hannah Banana Aww thank you💕

[@jackzeiman6351]

Hi, great helpful video sense I’m getting a chinchilla soon I ordered the critter nation model 163 do you know if there are any major differences? Besides that it is newer thanks

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Jack Zeiman I could be wrong but I think the 163 is only an add-on unit

[@jackzeiman6351]

Yeah that’s what I thought maybe an add on to the bottom half of 162

[@jackzeiman6351]

Nvm your right

[@laVIEchef]

Yup! THIS is the best cage there is for your own critters! Best investment for all ,)

[@fossilizedpoltergeist18]

ok but...who disliked the video? bc i need to tell them what they accidentally did..

[@islajoisce8438]

Hey! How can I get my two chins to come to me when they are out to play? They are kind of nervous around me and when I’m cleaning their cage one of them tries to jump out and when I block him from jumping he bites at my fingers, idk what to do because if I give him food when he does it he might think it’s a reward and I don’t want to get bitten, help!

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

It is important to associate your hands with good things so maybe when you are cleaning the cage block them off with the dust pan or even put them in a separate level of the cage if needed. Give them treats with your fingers when they are out for playtime maybe choose a small room like a bathroom or even a bathtub and play with them in there. This way they are forced to be close to you and will get comfortable sooner. Make sure you provide only one hideout for them to run to if needed but mostly just get them used to you:)

[@islajoisce8438]

The Chinchilla Notebook thanks this helped a lot ❤️

[@Lakelandcowboy69]

I want to buy just the add on for rats. My question is: Does the add on like you have on the top of your cage already come with the hole in the corner? Or do you have to cut it out or remove something? Thanks

[@muffin8030]

Hi! Love ur videos! I want a chinchilla so much and I’m trying to save up to get one. So thank you! Also, what do you use to edit your videos?? Thanks!💖💘

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

I use the editing software called Wondershare Filmora :)

[@addisonlawrence3786]

How much does it cost when you first get your chinchilla to get all the stuff like a cage and a wheel and everything you will need?

[@abeV]

Hey I am highly considering getting a chin and have gotten a lot of info from your channel but do you know if chins need shots or vaccines

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Abe Valdez No, they don’t. You can always take them to the vet if you feel the need to though 💕

[@abeV]

The Chinchilla Notebook ok thank you

[@liberty9567]

Where do you get your fleece liners from

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Liberty Kinsell I made them 💕

[@liberty9567]

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Liberty Kinsell You can get fleece from any craft store and even Walmart 💕

Also is the ferret nation also good

[@emilyricketson1190]

Where did you get that hay holder ?! 😮

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

It's actually a thing you hook up in the inside of a cabinet or storage but I got it from Walmart in the storage/organizer aisle :)

[@emilyricketson1190]

@@TheChinchillaNotebook thank you! Everytime I put hay in the cage he just throws it around as if it were Bedding lol this might work.

[@debralebeux4869]

The cage you linked in the description box looks different from your cage is it the same?

[@RhinoAwareness]

do you know how tall the 2 cages are without the stand? and width as well?

[@rachelrose4124]

Hi there! I am thinking of getting this cage for my chinchilla, but I read some amazon reviews that the wire rusted over time pretty quickly and that’s been a major concern of mine. What products do you use to clean the cage and have you witnessed any rusting at all? Thank you for your help, I love your channel and love Merlin!!

[@tinaxalexis6652]

Hi I love your videos! But I know this is off topic but do u know what size water bottle I need for a chinchilla I can't find a video for it. Thanks!

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

EmiilyGreen It doesn’t matter the size really. If you get a bigger one, you might be tempted to not change the water out often enough (which is my problem haha) but pretty much you can get whatever size as long as you watch it everyday and make sure it never gets empty 💕

[@wrencastillo4459]

Yo guys, I do got some tips to use on this cage. So,I have this cage for some rats, and it was very hard for them to get out. It is a bit of a pain to clean all of it and cleanse the cage. So yea 🙂

Great vid thanks 🙏

I think our chinchillas are long lost brothers mine name is Merlin too and based on what I see he’s just like mine but mines a bit shy at times

[@Justevarzeviciute]

My chinchilla cage is going to be one floor but tall is that ok too???🤔

[@emilycomeaux1384]

I found a pretty good deal of 150 on the. Face book market lol! It was used of course but I washed it good, do you have a better opinion on fleece lining or The paper scrap like bedding?

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

The Anime Fox I personally prefer fleece bedding as it’s a lot cheaper in the long run, easier to clean and keep neat throughout the week, and looks better. But I used paper bedding before. It just depends on the owner I guess 💕

[@zeemoe8745]

How are Chinchillas with cats?

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

It depends on the cat but I'd say just avoid having predator animals around prey ones like chinchillas. They may not show the stress, but they can get very scared and stressed out which is best to avoid :):)

[@baron6271]

I stacked my Critter Nation cage 3 high and my Chins fly up and down the ledges at lightning speed. Btw, if you want to cut down on the dust in your cage you could use a old fashion glass candy jar from Walmart. It's big enough for one chin to rroll around in.

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

That's a good idea, thank you! :)

[@movedwe1849]

Pretty late, but I don’t use fleece nor bedding for my chinchilla, should I change that?

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

•Chilla_ Scrizz• Chinchillas need some sort of bedding in their cage. Bedding soaks up the pee and keeps their paws and bodies clean from it💕

[@movedwe1849]

The Chinchilla Notebook Tahnk you! I’ll keep looking into it :)

[@FifthGate]

Thank you!

[@najiyahsmith5633]

You should do a video on what your chinchilla does at night or do a video on remodeling the whole cage

[@hdell1404]

So I’m looking to get a chinchilla can one level work for only one of them?

[@annabelteo5988]

H Dell definitely! a one tier CN is really big too :) just make sure there are lots of ledges for him/her (but ofc don’t overcrowd it) because they love to jump around!

[@jeanettemarsden2221]

Would it be okay to get a one story of the same cage you have?? I would have plenty of time to let him out. And it would only be one chin.

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Jeanette Marsden Unfortunately Chinchillas need at least 4.5 feet of height, but 5 is ideal. No matter how much ya let them out, they need a proper cage that’s large enough. Imagine having to live in a place too small all the time, and only let out for 2 hours a day. It’s just not healthy 💕

[@ditazalkalne2692]

Can you get a One story chinchilla Cage or is it two story tall bc i dont need it so big and if i can get it. Where?

[@TheChinchillaNotebook]

Dita Zaļkalne It’s best for chinchillas to have height, so a double unit is strongly recommended so they have enough space. You can get the critter nation off amazon 😊

[@alexa_0.166]

I have exactly $230 lol but I might save more money just in case because right now I have this weird shaped cage it is a triangle and it has small doors its hard to clean and there not enough room for toys and ramps and run stuff like that I could remove the ramps but it will just be weird and building a whole other floor will probably be hard so I think ill buy a critter nation!
