Chinchillas are very curious, active and social. They are also quite intelligent and can become bored (Like our Chinchilla Haze in the Bad Chinchilla Habits Article) fairly easily. One way to prevent your chinchilla from becoming bored is to provide new chinchilla toys to enrich her environment. A chinchillas FAVORITE toys are usually something they tear up, chew up or shred. This means that you will have a fun time picking and buying new toys for your chinchilla! Below are a list of our chinchillas top picks.

Piñata Chew Toy

Our Chinchillas really like this piñata chew toy. It takes them a while to completely destroy and gives them a fun challenge. They also have treats in the middle for an extra bonus!

Hay Balls

Hay balls cannot be destroyed, usually have fun bells on the bottom and provide a neat way for your chinchilla to get the hay it needs to maintain a healthy diet. We purchased a hay ball for each of our chinchilla cages and have noticed that they ring the bell when they want more hay! It’s very cute

Chinchilla Snack Shack

What could be more fun than a hiding tube you can eat! Our chinchillas have been gnawing away on this snack shack for months! It is made with alfalfa and honey…yum. It has been brought to recent attention that the honey in this snack shack makes it an unsuitable chinchilla toy.

Chinchilla Gift Package Chew Toys

These toys come in a variety of shapes and are basically wooden chew blocks wrapped in fun to shred paper. My chinchillas had a lot of fun shredding the paper off. They are also very ligth weight so it is easy for chins to carry them around. Overall it kept them pretty entertained check out the pic of our chinchillas playing.

Bag-O-Chews

These colorful chew toys come in a variety of shapes. My Chinchillas are pretty big fans of the star shapes. If I put in two chew blocks for two of my chinchillas that live together, they both go for the star! I think it's because it is easy to drag around and has fun points to chew off.
