Chinchillas will freeze to death if they live in an environment below 5℃ for a long time. Although chinchillas have strong hair, they are particularly afraid of cold. Generally, the lowest temperature that chinchillas can withstand is between 5-10 degrees Celsius, and the most suitable temperature for chinchillas to survive is 15-23 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is lower than 5℃, keep warm, otherwise the chinchilla's life will be in danger.

How to raise chinchillas in winter

1. It is best not to use porcelain nests to raise chinchillas in winter. They should be replaced with wooden nests. Porcelain nests are more breathable and cooler. Suitable for use in summer, the wooden nest has a certain thermal insulation ability and is not suitable for dissipating heat, so it is suitable for use in winter.

2. In winter, you should lay a thick layer of cotton under the chinchilla's nest, and also prepare a thick quilt for it. When it is cold, it can get into it to keep out the cold. .

3. In winter, you can place your chinchilla’s cage at home, but the temperature should not exceed 25 degrees Celsius. Too high a temperature can easily cause your chinchilla to suffer from heatstroke.
