I need ideas. Wee Companions has been asked to have a booth at the California Veterinary Conference in November. I am busy putting together informational information to give to vets on chinchillas. Since this is our first year, we're concentrating on guinea pigs, rats and chins and we are working to have all our handouts uniform. One of the handouts will be 9 or 10 Myths about Chinchillas.
If you can put it in this format it would make my life a whole lot easier.
Myth: Chinchillas are quite comfortable at temperatures up to 80 degrees F.
Fact: Chinchillas come from the Andes mountains and succumb to heat stroke at elevated temperatures. Chinchillas are happiest when kept in temperatures between 60 and 72 degrees. In most climates air conditioning is required.
