Chinchilla Hut
A natural pine hideaway sized and built to survive being chewed, giving a naturally nocturnal chinchilla somewhere dark and enclosed to retreat to during the day.

Our take
Chinchillas are most active at dusk and through the night, and a dark, enclosed hut like this one gives them somewhere to retreat during the day the way a burrow would in the wild. It is built from natural pine rather than a chew-unsafe material, which matters for an animal with continuously growing teeth that will gnaw on whatever its hide is made from, and the slide-together design goes up without hardware. One hut is a resting spot, not a substitute for the multiple levels and platforms a chinchilla's cage needs beyond it.
Good to know
- Natural pine wood, chew-safe
- Slide-together assembly, no hardware needed
- 6.25in size
- Also suited to rats, sugar gliders and hedgehogs
Who it is for
- Chinchillas that need a daytime hide in an active, multi-level cage
- Anyone wanting a chew-safe wood hut over an unsafe plastic hideout
Who should skip it
- Being the only enrichment or platform in the cage, chinchillas need more than one level to climb
- Damp or humid rooms, untreated pine holds moisture and can mould over time
