We have a bonded pair of female chinchillas that we rescued from a not so great situation. They will need a lot of time to get settled in. The larger ine is still terrified of us. The smaller one is a cutie and getting to know us. They do come with a great cage and i have rolls of material for them. We line their cage and shelves with material and they love it. We just cut it to size. They have a custom made wood house and a hammock and they have enrichment toys hanging all over their cage. They will be wonderful for someone with the time for them. I had one for 13 years and he was amazing. I have two dogs that they are not affraid of.
