Chinchillas and Guinea Pigs Same Cage?

Can Chinchillas and Guinea Pigs live in the same cage? I've seen some videos when they do but maybe that's rare i dont know but I'm getting a chinchilla next week and I'm trying to get some information about them

Re: Chinchillas and Guinea Pigs Same Cage?

Personally I wouldn't mix two species together. I don't know much on the subject but to me it just doesn't sound right at all. I've seen guinea pigs living with rabbits, but i've never ever seen or heard of guinea pigs living with chinchillas, or chinchillas living with anything else for that matter.

Guineas and Chins have very different needs - you can see that straight away when you look at the different sorts of housing. I just don't see how it'd work. But, there are people on here who know more about rodents than I ever would and they may say differently. I don't know.

Re: Chinchillas and Guinea Pigs Same Cage?

I have just looked on a couple of websites and it says that Chins and Guinea Pigs should definitely be kept apart.

Re: Chinchillas and Guinea Pigs Same Cage?

Why would you want to.
They both have totally different needs not only feed wise but bedding and cagewise too.
Please don't even go there.
