Moving chinchillas in the basement
« on: March 16, 2015, 12:10:52 PM »
We hope to get pregnant very soon. Once I have a baby, I would like to put the chinchillas in the basement. I we a dehumidifier we run in the basement. Would it be safe for them to live in the basement? I have read mixed things online.

It should be safe as long as it is well ventilated. If the air is stagnant and smells musty it will not be a healthy environment. If you can circulate the air that will be okay. Just make sure your fans aren't blowing on your chins.

I'm a programmer not a chinchilla breeder. I learn by asking questions just like you.

Yeah, air circulation and fresh air will be very important. If your basement has a history of being damp or anything like that i wouldn't risk it to be fair.
