Chin on the Rocks, Flagstone Perches can help keep your chinchilla cool and comfortable on warm summer days. Each Flagstone Perch is a piece of solid stone ( made up mostly of Calciam Carbonate). Because our Flagstone Perches are made of stone they are cooler than the ambient air temperature. So, placing some in your chin's cage will give your chin a cool place to relax and they are great fun for hopping around the cage on!
To get the maximum cooling effect store spares in a refrigerator and swap out perches in the warmer months. In fact, on really warm days it's nice to have multiples on hand in the refrigerator so that they can be rotated every few hours.
Chin on the Rocks Flagstone perches are approximately 1 inch thick and will stay relatively cool. They are an attractive and great addition to your chinchillas home.
WARNING: High temperatures (generally over 80 degrees F) can be deadly to chinchillas. Flagstone Perches aren't intended to protect your chinchilla from dangerously high temperatures. They are intended to give your chin a pleasant place to rest and play on while at the same time helping your chinchilla stay comfortable during times of uncomfortably warm temperatures.
