My pal has six chinchillas in the room next to his, they all get let out of the cages in pairs for a run around the room for an evening, and yes, they modify everything with their teeth, nothing lasts, so corners of anything important are protected with aluminum angle. One or two them even get let out of the room for a charge around the apartment, usually when the pals are around for a beer, then the chins are perched on shoulders, heads and chewing shoes. They all get treated from time to time, raisins that have been soaked overnight. His chins names are all named after a charachteristic of their appearance or personality and they are not that quiet, they squabble, and that is when the noise comes, that and when by mistake a female is let out with a male, there is much squeaking then, but the kittens are cute. Me, after reading the books of Gor, I dislike seeing creatures in cages, and have convinced him they need more space, so today we were getting wood and wire to turn the whole room into a cage, but with the ability to keep the pairs seperate. So not only do they have the ground space, but they have the wall space upto the ceiling too. I told him if he must keep caged creatures, give them the best possible living enviroment.
