Chinchillas are curious, active, and smart. They love to have something to do: explore, push, pull, search, and climb. With good chinchilla toys and foraging toys, you can make their habitat more challenging and prevent things from becoming "boring." Important to know: chinchillas are real rodents. Therefore, toys made from natural materials (such as wood, grass, and willow) or sturdy, chew-proof varieties are often a better choice than fragile plastic. In this category, you'll find sniff boxes, active playsets, snack balls, food trees, herb meadows, and wooden puzzles that stimulate chinchillas both mentally and physically. As specialists in rodents and rabbits since 2011, we select products that are truly fun in practice: easy to use, appropriate for chinchilla behavior, and easy to combine with smart cage design.
Perfect for “searching behavior”: let your chinchilla actively search for snacks or herbs in a box, forest or playset.

Why are foraging toys so good for chinchillas?
Foraging means searching for food . Instead of putting everything in one bowl, you let your chinchilla think and move to get to the rewards. This works very well in practice because it:
✔ stimulates natural behavior (searching, sniffing, discovering)
✔ provides a mental challenge (being smart)
✔ provides extra exercise (rolling, pushing, climbing)
✔ helps to make eating more relaxed (not "eating it down" all at once)
Popular product groups in this category
In this category, you'll find both "easy-to-start" products and real challenges. Think treat balls and food trees for everyday use, as well as sniff boxes and wooden puzzles for increased focus. You'll also find natural items like pine cones , herb meadows, and grass mazes that perfectly complement a naturally designed chinchilla cage.
Choosing a breed guide: what's right for your chinchilla?
Start simple if your chinchilla is still adjusting: a treat ball or a food tree are often the first choice. Want more of a challenge? Then go for a sniff box, a "Back to Instinct" playset, or a wooden puzzle with sliders. Tip: alternate between "find a treat" and "play/climb" to keep things interesting. And combine this with clever cage design (for example, with platforms), because chinchillas love to sit high and jump.
How do you use this?
✔ Start with small rewards (e.g. a little spice or a few small snacks) and gradually make it more challenging.
✔ Place foraging toys in a fixed location and rotate them 1–2x per week to keep them interesting.
✔ Let your chinchilla explore: help it out a bit in the beginning if necessary, but then let it do it independently.
✔ If gnawing behavior is present, choose natural materials (wood/grass) and check regularly for wear and tear.
✔ Clean toys according to material and replace them when they are no longer neat or safe.
Checklist
✔ Choose toys that are suitable for real rodents: sturdy and preferably made from natural materials.
✔ Combine “search” (sniffing/puzzling) with “doing” (rolling/pushing/climbing).
✔ Keep it challenging but achievable: start simple, build up gradually.
✔ Vary to avoid boredom, but don't change everything at once.
✔ Check for wear weekly and replace if damaged.
Safety
✔ Check toys regularly for loose parts, splinters or sharp edges and replace them in time.
✔ Use rewards sparingly: foraging is fun, but keep it within your feeding routine.
✔ Choose items that are stable or hang securely so that they cannot tip over while jumping and playing.
✔ Keep natural items dry and fresh; replace when visibly worn.
