Social/Emotional: Both boys are social and can be held. They are curious and like to see what I'm doing. They easily take treats and food from our hands. They love having a dig box with hay and florals like roses or hibiscus. They enjoy having their wheel, things to climb on, apple and pear branches to chew on. They aren't destructive chewers and haven't chewed on plastic. I do recommend keeping an eye on plastic items just in case. They do have play cups, balls and other items to play with and it hasn't been an issue. They are both very sweet and docile.
Special Adoption Accommodations: Part of adoption will require some planning and accommodations on your part: chinchillas CANNOT get too hot. They must have access to Air Cooling in the hot months along with cooling stones. Otherwise they will overheat in temperatures over 75 degrees maximum. They need dust baths 2-3 times per week. Their living space should be a large safe enclosure with lots of toys, a 16" or larger solid metal running wheel. The bar spacing being no more than 1" in width or solid, like the Clearly Loved Pets Enclosure. You will need to have a cover on it. We are happy to help upon adoption to ensure a good home.
