How high can the temperature get for a chinchilla before you have to start to worry?
I planned on keeping my chinchilla in my bed room. One breeder I went to. Has her chinchilla's in a room that was so hot me and my mother .. were swetting. I was thinking to myself, hey if she has them in a room that causes me to prespire and they are still alive my room should be fine. When I'm in my room I don't swet. I'm comfortable.
However, me being the super safe freak I am. I put a thermometer that you would use for say a lizard cage? On one of the shelves in my chinchilla cage.
All day it stays in the 60-70's.. however.. at about 3:00-4:00.. It jumps to 80-83.. then it dies back down.
Is that safe for a chinchilla? I plan on getting those marble slabs and freezing them.
How do you guys keep your chinchilla's cool? If you don't have an air conditioner? The windows in our house don't open top to bottom. They open left to right.
Our basement has humidity problems where moisture is everywhere.. Plus my cat lives down there.
