How to Clean a Chinchilla Cage

This will guide you when you don't know how to clean a Chinchilla cage. These little smooth, plushly furred rodents, native to the Andes mountains in South America, slightly larger than ground squirrels are often raised for their skins to make fur coats.WikiPedia:Chinchilla

Remove Chinchilla(s) from the cage and put them in a play gate area or have someone hold them.

Clean cage with windex and a paper towel or with warm water and soap. Get all the soap out or it may cause the cage to become moldy. It will also affect your chin's health. Make sure that you clean both the floor of the cage and the wire top if the cage comes apart.

Wipe cage until dry.

Put new bedding, food, water, and chew blocks and toys in cage.

Put chins back and remember to close the cage!

Give your chin(s) time to get used to the clean cage.
