Position of the chinchilla cage. First of all, the cage should be placed in a cool place. It should not be directly exposed to the sun, let alone blown through the hall. Because if the sun shines directly, the chinchilla cannot regulate its body temperature, which may cause the chinchilla to suffer heatstroke, dehydration and death, while if the wind blows through the hall, the chinchilla will catch a cold.

1、 Position of the chinchilla cage. First of all, the cage should be placed in a cool place. It should not be directly exposed to the sun, let alone blown through the hall. Because if the sun shines directly, the chinchilla cannot regulate its body temperature, which may cause the chinchilla to suffer heatstroke, dehydration and death, while if the wind blows through the hall, the chinchilla will catch a cold.
2、 Tmall drinks. Generally, it's just cool water. Some owners also choose mineral water, but I prefer cool water. Generally, the water is changed every 24 hours, so I don't recommend to choose a particularly large kettle. Because a chinchilla can't drink all the water in a day, especially the 500Ml one, I think it's a waste of water resources. The best place to hang the water bottle is outside the cage, which can reduce the speed of the chinchilla eating the water bottle, because in addition to the cabinet cage, chinchilla can basically eat the water bottle, except for individual brands. If the height is high, it is better to be able to reach the position when the chinchilla stands up.
3、 Dragon cat diet. Generally speaking, I prefer early grass and late food, which is more balanced. But if your chinchillas are picky eaters, don't be picky. It's better for the picky chinchillas to feed every day, which can be corrected slowly. Grain and grass are very important, so don't be soft hearted. Let him choose what he likes to eat according to his temperament. In particular, coarse fiber grass is indispensable. For example, some chinchillas do not like Timothy, so they can use fruit tree grass or Bermuda grass instead. Of course, the price is higher than Timothy. But if you only give alfalfa and staple food, it is not allowed. Especially for adult cats, it is very unfavorable! Even in the early years of chinchilla, I personally recommend giving coarse fibrous grass 1-2 times a week to help their gastrointestinal tract wriggle.
4、 Tmall snacks. It is suggested to give it 1-2 times a week, because snacks are snacks after all. Like children, chinchilla will have an impact on its normal diet and health.
5、 The chinchillas are picky eaters. The chinchillas are impatient animals, so the food is too long, especially the straw. They will eat two mouthfuls and throw it away without mercy. So please be careful not to form their habit of being picky!
