Chinchilla winter products – extra comfort, shelter and enrichment for cold days
In winter, chinchillas need a stable, draft-free environment, sufficient comfort, and plenty of distractions. Chinchillas have thick fur and can easily tolerate cooler temperatures, but they dislike drafts and rapid changes. In this category, you'll find winter products that make their stay more pleasant: extra hiding places, comfortable resting areas, and winter enrichment. Always combine these with a good foundation: a spacious enclosure, plenty of gnawing opportunities, and a nice sandy area. For the rest of your furnishing, you can go directly to Chinchilla houses , Chinchilla hammocks , and Chinchilla chewing materials . DRD Rodent Shop® has been a specialist since 2011 and selects winter items that are practical and appropriate for chinchilla behavior.

Why winter products for chinchillas?
Chinchillas can tolerate cooler temperatures, but they dislike drafts and unrest. Additional hiding places and comfortable basking areas make their habitat more comfortable, while enrichment helps them stay active when there are fewer "summer activities" around the enclosure.
What do you look for in winter items?
Choose products that are suitable for gnawing behavior and maintenance: sturdy, easy to clean, and secure. Ensure soft items don't fray and check regularly for gnawing damage. Keep the enclosure draft-free, but well-ventilated.
