Recently one of my chinchillas has developed a very annoying habit. bar chewing. We try very hard to make sure our chinchillas are well entertained and have fun chew toys and hay balls to keep them happy, but alas he is bored.

Haze thinks it is a TON of fun to sit on top of his wooden platform and yank on the top of his cage...endlessly. He is not really into being held and it was finally the straw that broke the camels back. After a near sleepless night I decided to break down and buy him the flying saucer wheel. It is our hope that if the wheel is as good as it seems to be, it will keep him entertained and break him of his annoying bar chewing habit. We have tried about everything else including letting him play all night in a large room with the other chinchillas, and giving him fun paper chew toys to shread.

Stay tuned for a full review of the flying saucer chinchilla wheel and wish us luck! If you have feedback on this problem, please let us know as this is the first chinchilla we have had that has ever relentlessly done this. Below is our cute little ball of furry.
