to let it have a good life you will need a glass cage about a meter long and 30cm high. you will also need to make/buy climing things leading to a hut(house) that it can enter were you could feed and sleep. you can even put hye (however you spell that) on the floor.decorate with real leaves or fake. then it will love you 4ever.
Always try to get the largest cage possible for your Chinchilla and remember they need space to move around in. Chinchillas love to climb and jump, so it is better to have a cage that is higher than it is wide and you can put up kiln dried wood shevles. The minimum size cage to get would be around 3 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet.
No they need a cage with no wire bottom floor try making a c&c cage.
A single chinchilla should live in a cage about two times the size as guinea pig cages on the market. And if you are keeping two chinchillas, they should live in a cage about 3x the size. This is all because chinchillas do need to jump and run about and if you but them a properly built running wheel these can be rather large!
Chinchillas
About as big as a great danes cage i would say
if you have bedding or shavings in the cage they will burrow sometimes
once or twice a week
8.5ft
Really depends on how big the bird is / how big it will get. The bigger the bird, the bigger the cage you will need. I would recommend getting at least a 20Lx20Wx29H sized cage for a parrot.
you would probably need a medium sized cage for a male rat as they are quite big. but you could get a cage with a few ladders and and a exercise wheel to keep it active.
not in the same cage. chinchillas are much bigger and will eat it
you shouldn't cage dolphins dolphins need relaxing environments, also if you picked out a normal cage like a dog cage it (obviously) wouldn't keep water in
