if the chinchilla is to big for this cage then i might have to change to getting a ferret :(
 
Depends on the size of the tube and the chinchilla. If its wiskers fit in the tube so will he. if they don't fit then he won't fit. Also if the tube is at least 8 inches wide you should be good. Most chinchillas come full grown from the petstore so they don't get much bigger than a regular rabbit.
 
Hi there--
I would be more worried about it chewing it up and then having problems,
Chinchillas love to chew and chew as their are part of the rodent family which means their teeth constantly grow, It is important to have a wire cage of metal otherwise it will escape i also recommend to put a lot of toys in the cage,

the one above is great but a bit expensive

Here is a useful link on care
