It is not recommended to allow pet chinchillas outside. There are too many dangers for them. They are quite clean pets and are best looked after inside. You are supposed to keep them in a roomy cage, and let them out of it sometimes, but keeping them in a room. Talk to a pet shop owner and also to a vet about chinchillas before even considering getting one. There is a lot you will need to know about them in order to provide a good home and the best care for them.
