i'm just afraid if i build the cage too high they might fall n get hurt XD is it bad if i build the cage low, because i heard chinchillas like high places?

It's true that they like a lot of space

My first cage I had for my chin was 2x2x3 feet. The one she has now is HUGE though lol. 4x4x2.5 feet. and she STILL begs for playtime lol. she's a diva.

don't feel bad if the cage is small at first, if that's what you can manage, just don't make it ridiculously small. I honestly think 2x2x3 is the standard/minimum? I'm not 100% though, you can easily google it to get an idea, and it never hurts to expand it later, especially if ur chin's by itself (like mine)

just dont neglect to play with em for at least 30 minutes a day! lol that's key for taming them and stuff (but remmeber to not let it out until it's comfortable with you which COULD take a few weeks). i limited my chin to just the bed for the first little bit (and make sure you ensure you line it underneath with plastic garbage bags or osmething in case they have an accident :| ) lol

hehe i will make sure to do that,... but i took a questionnair at one of the adaption web site, and they actually told me to let it play in the washroom because it is more safe and it is easier to find so they dont' run into little corners and stuff.
i'm not sure about the cage because i saw on google sites and some peple sell cages thats about 1x1x1 o.O it was pretty small, and it said chinchilla cages ... so i was pretty curious o.O
