Learn About Proper Chinchilla Care
PETCO is committed to responsible companion animal ownership. Learn about proper care and select the right chinchilla supplies, chinchilla cages and chinchilla food.
Before you bring your chinchilla home be sure to have a multi-tiered cage, cage accessories, bedding and high-quality chinchilla food. You may add more chinchilla supplies as you become familiar with the particular needs of your pet.
A large multi-tiered habitat is recommended because chinchillas love to jump and play. Wire chinchilla cages with a solid bottom are required to protect their feet.
A proper diet should consist of high-quality chinchilla pellets and small amount of vegetables. Any quality brand of commercial chinchilla food carried by PETCO that you choose will provide proper nutrition.
