Scoot
and Chalupa live in a deluxe cage which has numerous ramps, platforms, cubbies, and
toys. The new cage came from a wonderful couple in the country that
had it specially built for them by her father. The custom-built cage
is the size of a large entertainment centre which gives them lots of room
to run, jump, and play.
They
usually
like to sleep on the upper floors where
they can keep an eye on things, and the camera can keep an eye on them. If
you don't see them, they're probably down getting a bite to eat,
munching on some Timothy Hay, or having a roll in their dust bath.
Roxy
lives in her own cage because she and Scoot and Chalupa don't get along
yet. Every once in a while they play together, but we're still
working on getting them to play nicely!
Chinchillas are quite dormant during the day, but become more
active early in the evening between 7:00 - 10:00 pm.
If you see darkness, that is because it’s night time where we are and
Scoot is sleeping!
