Sure sure, I plan to check the electricity unit used (for aircon only) on tomorrow. No one at home during day time so it is a lot easier to check the usage of aircon. Will let you guys know the duration (hr) and electricity unit used. Then u guys can extrapolate the usage.

Currently I am using 1HP and I set it to 22 degree celcius and room can only achieve 24 degree celcius (constantly). Off twice, once is between 9-11.30pm, temperature drop until 28 degree celcius at 11.30pm. Another time is at 5am to 7.30am.

Shingin, if you have called carefour, let me know, I will top up what you miss to them.

Called the pet shop owner, Mei Yee this morning. Confirmed that chinchillas are displayed and she claimed that those chins are displayed in the show unit not aquarium. However, I did explain to her about the heat stroke issues and temperature shall maintain below 28-30 degree and ventilation is required. Very impressed that she accepted all my comments and told me that she will remove those chins from carefour. I didn't order her to remove immediately as I think it is very rude to do so. However I expected the chins will be remove b4 friday.

Very sad that I dun go to carefour subang and I can't follow up with this case. Can anyone who stays near subang or will go carefour subang let me know if chins still display/suffering in carefour. Thank you.

good job...shingin...bravo....

half great! Another half have to wait see are those chins begin remove and place in A BETTER PLACE. Mana tau they remove, put in store room, even worst.... Heng should be able to pay another visit, as he should be staying around that area.

i went there and saw it too but they are not put together as wat you mention,shared with suggie and hamsters. there are 4 cases in the big case or so call display. 1 case for each different species. there are indeed holes at the side of the display just like pets wonderland and their door is with mesh netting.

Ok. Thanks for update us underdog. Sound like have more air(ventilated) Do you feel warm when go there?

yes poison jason...post more picture pls

very cute chins. are they yours?

wow..cute chins......

stop tat ...newbiebetta

do chinchilla's hiss or make any sounds when you pick them up? or are they like hamsters and rabbits in the sense that they do not make any sounds?

basically, chinchilla wont make sound when you pick them up, however if they feel really afraid and want to run away, they have some very gentle 'hmm/sigh..' sound.

Mine sometimes make weird crying noises when they are in the cage....
weird....
sounds like whimpering sound i think...
wat does it mean?

Too dark... I cannot see

My rabbits do make sound if they are scared.


However, sample of chinchilla's sounds (angry, calling, warning, etc) can be found on the net if whoever are curious. Just do a search on google.

Chinchillas: I noticed my chins and jacklene's chins's ears are having black spots. Is it because dirty or what? coz when my chins were young, the black spots were not there.
