How to make a chinchilla toy?

I am wanting to make my Chinchilla a 'Christmas Decoration' for her cage. lol. Sounds crazy i know. But i think that would be adorable! haha.


So is there any way i can make an edible Christmas tree or wreath for her cage. Maybe popsicle sticks and....something? Any info is appreciated.

First you will need some superglue and a bit of heavy yarn or small rope . Attach the rope to the chinchilla's hind leg and use the superglue to hold it it place . Wrap the rest of the rope around the chinchilla and super glue the end to it's head . Walla instant chinchilla toy :) lol

I've been thinking along the same line- my family has a tradition of hanging stockings for the children and the pets in the family- so I had to plot a little for a suitable "chinchilla stocking/stocking stuffer"





Through experience, I've found chinchillas will try and grab and chew anything within and within REACH of their cage, so I'd hang your chin's stocking on a mantle with yours or on a wall (out of reach of the cage or any possible jumping surfaces) with a "Removable Utility Hooks with Command Adhesive" (google parenthesis if you're not familiar with the product).





As for stuffers, I recommend BarkBites, a new container of dust (try putting it in a ceramic dusting bath if you have one, but for no more than 3 minutes, otherwise invest in the ceramic dustbath as a present), or best yet, laying on the floor and interacting with your chinchilla an extra 30 minutes to an hour every night. These beautiful creatures can be a bit of what may be called "attention whor-s" but are highly pleased by the same simple pleasures. If you're going to be REALLY indulgent try this (made for bunnies, but safe for chinchillas- not treated or colored, just a fun cardboard play house for play time):

P.S. The castle is my gift for my chinchilla, Luna, this year. She has been nuts about cardboard even since she discovered them (again-only untreated, uncolored cardboard and moderate how much they chew- chinchillas should primarily chew on their pellets and hay and be limited in the amount of cardboard or treats they may prefer)
