What this sheet is for
Record the temperature and dental observations that matter most for a species which overheats easily and hides illness well.
Who it is for
Chinchilla owners and rescues.
How to use it
- Record the room temperature; heat is a genuine danger for this species.
- Log dust baths — too many and too few both cause problems.
- Watch and record eating and teeth.
- Write down the signs your vet asked you to watch for.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Dust baths, teeth, temperature and weight for an animal that overheats easily and hides illness well.
Heat and teeth: record both, we print neither. No room temperature limits, bath frequencies or diet quantities are printed. Chinchillas are heat-sensitive and dental problems are common, which is why the sheet asks about both — the safe figures are for your vet and a species source to give you.

Questions
What temperature should a chinchilla be kept at?
No figure is printed. Chinchillas are adapted to a cool, dry climate and are genuinely at risk in warm rooms, but the safe range and how to manage it in your home is a conversation with a vet who sees them.
