Hello, I am new to this forum, and to all forums actually, so I apologize for my lack of knowledge of these types of things haha.
I have 2 male chinchillas (ages 1 and 3 years) living a cage I built out of wood and wire fencing, mainly as a temporary cage until I could buy a higher quality one to last a long time. It's not very easy to clean and maintain, and it's also pretty ugly. So the plan is to buy a Critter Nation next week for my birthday.
Right now I use wood shavings as bedding and it is VERY messy, even with 3 inch deep pans. And it doesn't help that the Critter Nation's pans are like a half inch deep or something stupid.
To any of you reading who use fleece liners, how do those work? I've seen so many people online say they use fleece bedding for their chins, and it sounds like a great idea to me, I just have a few questions about bedding and the cage.
I will list everything I'm having trouble finding help with:
-Do the chins chew through it? And how might you stop it if so?
-How do you make them and maintain them?
-Should I place a absorbent layer underneath the fleece, or will the fabric be enough?
-What might be the cheapest way to buy the Critter Nation? (Double) Do they go on sale for Black Friday/Cyber Monday on Amazon? Probably a dumb question but I figured I might as well ask just in case.
-What are your thoughts o fleece bedding, the Critter Nation, or both in conjunction with each other?
Any help with any of these topics would be greatly appreciated. Any and all other tips regarding fleece bedding or the cage are welcome as well! Thanks in advance! :)
