we got the chincilla a cat tunnel he loves it he scoots up and down hall through it

luke asked about them socialising dont think i will bother. the 2 degu are brothers been together and they stil fight. i am sure they will be curious and investigate through the bars though. also the degu have balls to run around in i am sure chincilla will like to chase them
