Is this a good cage for a chinchilla? Also, do the wheels come off and would it be sturdy on a table?

We thought it was good, but it's not. Have our 2 Chinchillas in this cage we bought at the end of August. This morning they both had gotten out of the cage because they chewed a huge hole in the bottom tray which is plastic. The ramps and shelves are plastic so they chew on those as well. Best to get one that has stainless steel bottom and ramps.

Excellent cage for a Chinchilla. Ours is very happy there. We bought tiles from Home Depot and put shavings on newspaper on the floors. Wheels could come off, but not too sure you'd want to put it on a table. It's a tall cage.

Yes it would serve well for a Chinchilla. The wheels do come off, as they are caster wheels. This is a very nice cage!Just be sure if you purchase to follow directions well for assembly

When you build the cage you don't have to install the wheels. The cage is great. I have never personally owned a chinchilla but I'm sure it would be perfect for them. You can make it into two cages or run a ramp through the middle making it one whole cage. It's easy to assemble too. I have rats and they love it. I plan on buying another soon.

This is a very large cage. A hamster would be able to escape through the widely spaces bars. I'd look for something smaller with a tighter grid :)

Well, I have only owned this cage for a few months, but it seems very durable....doesn't wobble...no chipping...and it's easy to clean. I'm very pleased with my purchase........and it was much more reasonably priced than the ones in pet stores Karen Shane

I would not recommend it for rats. I had a baby chinchilla in this cage about 4 months old and he walked right through the bars. I ended up having to buy him a different cage. The cage was also much taller than I anticipated. the ladders from floor to floor have quite a space between them also.

This heating pad will be at 100 degrees F when something is lying on it. So if your chinchilla is always lying on it, the chinchilla (which doesn't like temps over 80 degrees for very long) will overheat. However, the pad doesn't heat the air (only the things in direct contact with it), so if the chinchilla is not lying on it, it won't overheat his cage. He can lie on it when he's cold, and lie next to it when he's not. However, I am not familiar with the particular needs of chinchillas, so I can't validate whether it would be good for them.

I bought it for my daughters chinchilla cage because they chewed th plastic one I believe it's welded and I thought it was pretty sturdy. It worked well for chinchillas Hope this helps.

I think that it will work for a chinchilla if you put a bottom on the cage and reinforce the ramp.

This cage wouldn't be good for chins, trust me. Maybe one if you like seeing a animals in small places.. But for two is defiantly out of the question if you ask me. As far as rats go.. I have two in this cage right know. And they chewed threw three basis.. I finally had to think of something new for the bottom. Honestly.. I would not wast your money.. Save up alittle more and get something you will not regret getting

It's ok for temporary housing, I kept my 2 Eclectus in ours for a week while on vacation. They were not too happy about it because the finish is very slippery and makes it harder for them to climb. Also the cage itself is somewhat flimsy, the upper and lower sections comes a part way too easy.....hope this helps

I use this for my chinchilla and when she jumps from shelf to shelf it makes a lot of noise, but she is bigThe cage is very well made, sturdy and easy to clean. The only time there is noise is when she jumps

This cage has a lot of plastic ramps but the cage itself is not plastic. The bottom part of the cage is plastic. I do not know lots of info about chinchillas but here are some youtube.com videos on the subject of chinchilla cages....hope this helps...chinchillas are so cute! http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=chinchilla+cages+and+cares&page;=&utm;_source=opensearch

I would go with a larger metal cage, the connection tubes might be to narrow. In addition the hamster will make it's den up in the wheel making it very noisy and messy when he tries to run in it.

No definitely not big enough for chinchillas. It's just the size of a regular hamster cage, just taller so they have room to exercise

This is a fairly large and sturdy cage, I used it to house a full grown Veiled Chameleon and it did great, if you are going to place a backing on it be careful since crickets will hide behind it and die there, and stink up the cage. I am sure if placed sideways this would make a great home for your bearded dragon and it will resist the heat of the heating lamps, maybe a larger tank would be better but with this if the heat is sufficient the dragon will have more room to roam.

It will work great for a chinchilla, When I put them in my parrots cage it may drip at first, I push the ball back a couple of times and it quits dripping.
