Recently, there has been snow in many places, and the overall temperature has dropped sharply, and the indoor temperature will also drop significantly, especially in the south, where most areas are without heating equipment, and the room temperature will drop to 0-10 degrees (while in the north) Most cities have heating equipment, and the room temperature does not exceed 20 degrees). So what should I pay attention to when the temperature drops?
1. Pay attention to diet. After the temperature drops, the amount of exercise of the chinchilla will also decrease, and the energy consumption will also be reduced, so the food intake will naturally decrease. But there are also some chinchillas that are not affected by the temperature, eat and drink, and excrete normally, and even some chinchillas will eat more instead. Therefore, it is a normal phenomenon for Chinchillas to lose appetite in winter. As long as their mental state is good, their excretion and other physiological aspects are normal, and the diet is slightly reduced or increased, there is no need to pay too much attention to
at the same time to feed more protein content in winter High food allows pet chinchillas to generate enough heat, so as to withstand the cold in winter. In addition, in terms of staple food, you can increase the supply of grass, and you can't let your pet go hungry and cold.
2. Keep warm. Chinchillas come from South America and are neither heat-resistant nor cold-resistant. The living environment temperature of Chinchilla is about 25℃. The minimum should not be lower than 8℃. Pay attention to some relatively northern children's shoes. If the temperature at home continues to be too low, Chinchillas may be in shock. The chinchillas that are fed indoors must be careful not to be cold for a while and hot for a while. If the heating is turned on in the north, there is no problem. Because there is no heating in the south, the main thing is air conditioning. Be careful not to let the temperature rise and fall too much, which will make your pet Chinchilla catch a cold.
3. Keep it dry. My Neighbor Totoro likes a relatively dry environment. If the environment is too humid, My Neighbor Totoro may get sick! Some places are dry and cold in winter, so you only need to keep warm, and some places are wet and cold, then please buy a dehumidifier for your Totoro, or turn on the dehumidification function of the air conditioner.
