Chinchilla Escapes from Cage

My chinchilla, Mochi, taught herself how to escape from her cage whenever she wants. (I've since added a small padlock to the door...)

Is that a cage from the Quality Cage Company?

@PoisonxAlchemist I don't remember where I ordered the cage from (it was 7 years ago), but I don't think it was that company. I'm sorry I can't be specific.

[neptuneluv]

oh wow!! do you have a video of it? that would be so cool to see!

o man, my chinchilla (Crash) taught himself to do the exact same thing! I had to build a new door for the cage!

[neptuneluv]

aw, really? that sucks. now i use a small luggage lock for that door (she hasn't figured out the bottom door yet), and that works to keep it closed. she's stopped trying to open the door because of it.

Have smaller chicken wire around the outside, that they can not sqeeze through.

@hoohoozhang888888888 do u know how it would do that just incase if i get a chin i would know how to prevent it???

How crafty! I catch my little boy Picchu jumping out of his playpen all the time... it's 3 feet tall, however, so it's fairly impressive to see for an immature chin. I finally caught it on video the other day, when he was dead-set on escaping!

They are so smart. All I have to say now is "Picchu, I can see you, little man!" and he sort of gives me an exasperated look. Then I let him out on the couch and give him some crushed rose hip. XD
