"Hi this is Jennica from Pet Planet in Riverton, Utah. We are going to be talking about care sheets for chinchillas. You can make a list of things chinchillas need. For example chinchillas need food every day. This is a type of chinchilla food. They also need Timothy Hay or orchid grass about once a week. You can do that when you are changing their cage. They need a cage out about once a week also. You can use paper or anything that doesn't have any oils in it. They need fresh water every day and a cage that you would need for them a good cage size would be 6 X 6 X 3 feet. They also need to take dust baths. It is chinchilla dust. You can put it in a bowl, they roll around in it. Just don't give them a water bath it actually makes them lose their hair. If you have any more questions please contact us at petplanetriverton@gmail.com."
