Sunlight

[randro]

How much sunlight should my chinchillas get?

I really have no idea, but what I was always told that they shoulnt be in direct sunlight because it could cause them to get hot. But I'm not really sure, sorry!

I would like to know this as well, as our chins are in the basement. There are two windows in their room, but on an overcast day you would want a light to read in there still.

If your cage has a corner that gets sun they can have as much as they want - so long as they can leave at any time and the ambient temperature is low.

They do like to bask on cool days, just like any other animal. )

My cage has a shelf where there is sunlight
It's fun to see Stevie catch some sun in the afternoon
