He might need more out of cage an hour a day isn't very long for something as active as chinchilla.
Also how big is the cage they need alot of cage space to be active.

His cage is huge. He has three level plus one of those hanging bed/nets at the top. He's been fine up until this past week when he started acting like this.

Edit: I am unable to find the exact cage on Amazon. Though it is similar to: This ferret cage. Obviously, it doesn't have wire floors/ramps. They are plastic to avoid hurting Patrick's feet.

He still might need more out of cage time, even with a huge cage ( we know which cage you mean ) it still might not be enough exercises.
You could try upping his play time see how it goes.

Been using vetbed in Theodora & Ambrosia's cage for the past couple of days, and am I'm loving it! Soooo much better than fleece.
Got offbrand stuff from an LPS, so it doesn't hold the pee in the bottom like proper vetbed does, so I have to use puppy pads underneath, but the top is completely dry! Even with those two, who are probably the messiest pigs I have. It's load easier to pick poop off of too!
Hopefully will have them all on it soon!

Thinking I might use it in the rats too, but make fleece covers to fit over it, 'coz I reckon the fluffiness of will be more inviting to chew on XD

@ Keriae


Didn't realize you were looking for new shelves, or I'd have linked you those earlier XD I've been looking at them for the rats.


@ Cyrinus

He's just being a chinchilla. They are incredibly messy, destructive creatures.

    @Spider I made a post about covering shelves with fleece, but I don't trust fleece with Hercules xD Still need to speak to my mum though, she's in a mood xD
    They're great though, aren't they? Don't know how thick they are though.

My little Sumatra found a home! The winter white I was fostering for just a week actually found a home faster than I thought. She's with my best friend now, and getting great care(:
