Does Chinchillas need bedding materials in his cage?

Soft towels can be enjoyed by your pet chinchilla. Inspect the towel often to make sure the chinchilla isn't chewing it; if swallowed it could cause intestinal obstructions. If such incident were to occur, bring your little fellow to the vet at once.

Cage lining material can be placed under the wire-mesh bottom of the cage. Newspaper is inexpensive and works well as a cage lining material. But as newspaper has print-inks, it would be risky if Chilli were to chew on the newspapers.

Wood shavings that are sold for other rodent cages can also be used. Wood shavings are good as they can trim and sharpen your pet teeth and at the same time strengthen their jaws.
