Chinchilla temperature

[dutchess2011]

Can you tell me how cool a room could be? I have my chin on the first floor of my house, it gets pretty cold in the winter. Chucky seems to be cold...but it was my understanding that they could be fine in the cold. But I'm so worried about him.

Any advice is appreciated.

They can't be cold, but they can be cool. The lowest I would go is mid-50's but that's in a barn that's full of chins and they generate body heat just by being in a smallish building. If you think your chin is cold, then move him to a room that isn't so cold.

our house is always in the 60s. coldest it's gotten is 58 degrees but thats when we've turned the heat off and forgotten to turn it back on before we went to bed.

I always shoot for 68-50, but in the winter we average about 64, and my chins are ok. Even at 60 I catch them on there chill pad...
