These rodents are native to the Andes Mountains of northern Chile and live in elevations of 3000 to 5000 meters (9,800 to 16,400 feet). Chinchillas are covered in thick fur in order to withstand the cold mountains where the average temperature can be -5 to -10 degrees Celsius (15-20 degrees Fahrenheit). However, this also means that they don’t do well in high temperatures and humidity which can cause them to have heat stroke.
