Climate

There is a lot to know for a first time owner of a chinchilla. First, chinchillas need to be in a stable temperature environment. They cannot have it too warm; because of their fur…they can easily die of heat stroke. Don’t keep the room too cold though either, maybe somewhere in the 65-68F.
