For this wood chinchilla cage,
How many times do I need to clean the pet enclosure each week? Once a week at least, but you should remove any soiled hay or bedding daily.
There is no latch to hold up the lower plexi-glass door while you are cleaning the cage, it may drop and hit your chinchillas, kindly take care of it.
The water bottle holder doesn't have any springs ,so it just sits loosely in the hole and moves around, you can drill two holes to affix the spring that came with the water bottle or run a long twist tie around it."br""br"The cage is not so easy to move around once you build it, so before you keep your pet in, kindly choose a proper place to put it."br""br"For the bottom tray,"br""br"The sides of the tray is wood, it may absorb the pee."br""br"The bottom tray is shallow and the litter may fall below the cracks to your table or shelf below or floor,you can put a big paper underneath this chinchilla cage."br""br"Tips: Never only have one chinchilla in your cage. Don't feed your chinchilla fresh fruit, grass hay and chinchilla pellets are the regular treat. Pls give them safe objects to gnap on to avoid dental problems. Keep them in cool place throughout their time. Avoid wire bottomed cage. Let them get used to your presence and voice before attemping to touch them.
