Chinchilla environment — tolerant of cold, heatstroke risk above 26.7°C
The text below is reproduced verbatim from the first-hand source (Merck Veterinary Manual).
> Chinchillas are very tolerant of cold but sensitive to heat. The ambient temperature range to which chinchillas are adapted is 18.3–26.7°C (65–80°F). Exposure to higher ambient temperatures, especially in the presence of high humidity, can result in heatstroke.
