    You can get a plastic wheel of size, with no spokes etc so they can’t catch in it, but the plastic ones are pretty noiseless compared to the metal ones.

    The lady I know who has the most chins keeps 4 in a custom built cage and they aren’t that friendly, but she has one (an all white one, gorgeous!) that is her “heart chin” and friendly and so lives in a three story cage by her computer desk alone. He comes to the bars begging for attention and treats. So interaction with humans does vary by personality and how they were raised. He even plays with her parrots lol Some people harness train them but I would recommend that even less than with a bun, since their bones are so fragile.

    http://www.ehow.com/how_4882206_pottytrain-chinchilla.html there is an article on litter training – it’s pretty similar to rabbits. They like to use one spot for urine, so you use that instinct by putting a box in their spot.
