<PERSON> questions (it’s a little long sorry)
* Should I get one Chinchilla or two because I don’t want them to be lonely but I have heard they can live on they’re alone if given a lot of attention like any animal. I really think I could do it but I would like to more about how much time they need because of work.
* I need to buy a portable AC so it’s cold in my room for them not room is normally at 75 f. I do not control the temperature in my room so I want to buy one. Would that help and work? I also want to know the right temperature for them, let’s say hypothetically it’s 67 f for their perfect temperature could a portable AC do that or no. If not is there any other solutions?
* I also found the perfect spot for a cage I’m buying a giant cage just so they have alot of room is vertical and everything and meant for chinchillas. The spot is in my closet, I want people’s opinions about this because I was wondering if I could close the closet with the chinchilla ONLY while I’m sleeping. If not that perfectly fine I don’t want to harm it in ANY way. I hope I don’t come off as selfish when I say that. 210
Will it be okay in my closet though if I leave it opened as well, I read somewhere that it’s okay for them to be in closet just leave it open. I got flamed for posting this question on another forum I love animals I was just asking if I could close it while I’m sleeping :(. If not that’s 100% okay with I’ll keep it open at all times I just wanted to ask and got literally targeted by someone’s for asking. Chinchillas safety is my number one priority and I hope nobody misunderstands me.
* Im fully prepared for whatever nonsense this future chinchilla will do in my room. But is it okay to live in my room? I feel more than capable I could live with a chinchilla in my room. But is it safe in general?
* I’m having a hard time picking between shaving or fleece which is easier and which would you personally prefer?
* When I buy a chinchilla should I buy it from a breeder in my area or PetSmart/Petco?
* When I buy a chinchilla should I take it to the vet the day I get it for checkups and such I feel like that would be the right thing to do.
* Should I get a male or female I think this is important to me because if I do become busy which is highly unlikely where I can’t give it as much time I would want to give it a buddy.
* Size recommendations for the wheel so their spine doesn’t get messed up while also being a quiet wheel.
* Please give me literally anything I need to know even stuff that isn’t on here anything. I need chinchilla experts advice. Thank you so much for reading all of this 210
