Chinnie Quiz!
« on: September 01, 2006, 09:20:45 PM »
Hey, me again. I was wondering if somebody could ask me a few questions about chinchillas, like a quiz. I just want to  see if I know a lot about them. Don't worry, I promise I won't cheat,  ::nod:: Try me! :chin:

Hmm  Lets see..what are some good new owner questions....

What type of shavings should you never use with chinchillas?

What temperature starts getting dangerous for overheating?

Can chinchillas have fruits and fresh veggies to eat?


Maybe someone else can come up with a few more...

How may days, on the average, from conseption to delivery of kits?

....
(1)What type of shavings should you never use with chinchillas?
Quote
MissKitz: is it pine or cedar?
Careful MisKits ... one can kill and one is good for them!  Question remains open!
(2)What temperature starts getting dangerous for overheating?
Quote
MissKitz: i heard 80 but i always kept it under 78 in the chinnie room
Under 80 is acceptable for short periods of time ... under 75 is better ... we keep ours under 70.
(3)Can chinchillas have fruits and fresh veggies to eat?...
Quote
MissKitz:No not one bit is for the fruits/veggies
Think again ... aren't raisins in one of those categories & raisins are good for them ... in moderation.

(5)What is the average heart beats per minute for a chinchilla? ...
Quote from: chinchillaboy4 on September 03, 2006, 01:19:03 AM
...Heres my question.
 Same as #1 Above1. What types of wood should you never give your chinchilla?
(6)In the wild ... how many litters per year did most chinchillas have?
(7)How many kits are usually in a litter?
(8)Is it OK to leave daddy chin in with the momma chin while she is having her kits?
(9)What is breed-back and is it healthy?
(10)How quickly can a momma chin go back into season after her kits are born?
(11)What size wire is needed for a chinchilla's cage, especially if they have kits or are going to have kits?
Quote
MissKitz:the wire should be less then a 1 inch
Close ... 1/2 x 1" or smaller
I think, as Jamie suggested, it would be good to move these questions to the quiz section for points ... anyone can answer them for points! It's getting a bit busy/confusing here.   Research your answers! :D
