What Toys & Exercise Does My Chin Need?! || The Official Chinchilla Care Series

Hi everyone! Hope you enjoy our Exercise and Enrichment episode, I'm so excited to have finally finished it! We get a LOT of questions about safe toys and playing with chins, so I really hope this video helps answer those questions. Here are a few key points of the video: 1. Exercise is important for your chin's mental health and physical health; their gut needs motion to work properly! 2. Toys provide mental stimulation and dental care by wearing down their ever-growing teeth. 3. Make sure all toys are free of any chemicals or pesticides, and sticks must be on the approved woods list for your chins to have. (Backyard sticks are not safe; they must be processed correctly even from the safe trees!) 4. Hay is such a critical part of a chin's enrichment; foraging, dental care, and mental stimulation are all big components of hay for a chin! 5. Check our approved vendors list! 6. Wheels are a cage staple but must be at least 14" diameter, no mesh or plastic, and no center bar. We like Silver Surfers and Chin Spins. 7. Playtime is super important for physical exercise, bonding, and mental engagement. A wheel is not a complete substitute for out of cage time. 8. Creating a safe space for a chin to play can improve your bond and teach them that your presence means good things await!
