All 2-story cages are used and come with various shelves/pans. All money collected directly support California Chins - Chinchilla ...Rescue. All items are 1st come, 1st get, no holds...
Cages can be bought/picked up at our Sunnyvale location. Please schedule a Product Pickup appointment so, we know you are coming. - https://chinhq.square.site

Another of the product we love - The Perky Pet Squirrel Stumper. We love low maintenance cages and if one wishes to give Hay to chins, this is product is an excellent way to do it.
Never use those round metal hay balls that are sold. Chins have gotten fingers and toes caught in the between... the tines and besides they tend to be small and a pain to put hay into them all the time.
Any Hay bin that hangs on the side of cage will spill up to half its hay on the floor just because it is next to or on the outside of the cage. Chins are messing when they pull out hay and do not care where it goes as they are not the ones that have to clean up.
For a simple Hay bin (and again what we use in our rescue cages) is one that hangs in the middle of the cage, thereby keeping hay inside and not outside on the floor. The Perky Pet Feeder has a removable plastic tube that when removed leaves a great all metal bin for hay. This Perky Pet hay bin has 1 inch square wire which means no trapped fingers or toes and the chins can climb in or out without issues. When adding hay to this bin, tightly compress the hay inside it so, the chins really have to work to pull out strands of hay. If one needs to hang it farther down from the top of the cage, we recommend a good dog chain as they come in different sizes(heights), hold up to chin chewing, a tight chain weave (no caught toes) and rust-proof.

Another reason why we love the products we use. After our event over the weekend, I get to clean a dozen pans. We only use Bass Stainless Steel pans and here's the before and after cleaning pictures. This pan had not been deep cleaned for 6mos since the last time. Took maybe 5-10min (max) to ...clean with hot water, Lysol Cleaner, brush, putty knife (stubborn pee buildup) and a green scrub pad and now it looks practically new again (and there were dirtier pans than this and they now look new too). Oh, and this pan and all our other pans are at least 10yrs old now.

Thank-You All. We had a Great Chinchilla Adopt-A-Pet Day. Fourteen (14) Chinchillas found new homes (a new daily adoption record for us). We had some wonderful volunteers helping us today which made everything move smoothly, making sure everyone was helped and all their questions answered. Again, ...Thank-you all. #caadoptapetday
