Besides all our other pets, we have three chinchillas. Eddie (standard grey) is a year old, Leroy (white/mosaic?) is a year and a half, and Dudley (standard grey) is two years old. Leroy and Dudley are recently out of quarantine, and are now happily co-housed with Eddie. The problem is that I don't like the cage they are in, and would like to build a new one. The bar spacing is too far apart (they're in what amounts to a ferret cage currently), and I'd like to go bigger, now that there are 3 of them. I know that C&C cages aren't ideal (again with the bar spacing issue) but would it work with the finer mesh cubes? Where can those be purchased? My cavy C&C is cable-tied together, but I know my chins would chew through those. I can get metal J-clips from a farm-and-fleet type store, though. Would those work to hold it together? Our degus are in a cage made from coated hardware cloth metal mesh, but I can't find any locally anymore.
