All three of my chinchillas like it, but they didn’t when I first moved to my apartment. I think it has to do with them not knowing their surroundings. And after awhile, they get tired of it and move to a spot where they feel comfortable and just sit there.

When buying a chinchilla ball, get the biggest size you can. I have a 13” ball that I found at a special pet store. sometimes you’ll find them at PetsMart, but I don’t usually buy my chinchilla supplies from there…

Anyway, they’re hysterical once they get going. My pink white, Ixie, will dash around my apartment and bump into everything!

Thanks for the question, Anon :)
