I noticed on the description it mentions about 100 degrees, but this is actually a low voltage heated pad. The description mentions about it being low wattage 25 degrees and all the heated pads I have are just warm to the touch so I feel the 25 degrees is correct and believe the 100 degrees is a mis-print on the product description.

This heating pad will be at 100 degrees F when something is lying on it. So if your chinchilla is always lying on it, the chinchilla (which doesn't like temps over 80 degrees for very long) will overheat. However, the pad doesn't heat the air (only the things in direct contact with it), so if the chinchilla is not lying on it, it won't overheat his cage. He can lie on it when he's cold, and lie next to it when he's not. However, I am not familiar with the particular needs of chinchillas, so I can't validate whether it would be good for them.

100 Fahrenheit is 37.8 Celsius -- less than 1 degree C above human body temperature. While that would make for an uncomfortably warm room, it is not an overly warm surface in a cooler environment. If the chinchilla would be okay sitting on your lap for an extended time (it would be), my guess is that it would be fine with this pad.

My apartments room temperature is 75 degrees Fahrenheit. When my cat lays on this warmer pad the temperature rises to 106.5 (temped it using a digital thermometer by placing it under him and between the warmer pad). The normal body temperature for cats falls in the range of 99.5-102.5 Fahrenheit. This pad raises it by 3-4 degrees. He really seems to like it. I WOULDN'T recommend placing this pad in a cage where your pet cannot move off the pad when they feel too hot. My cat makes that decision himself. He will leave and lay next to it when he feels too hot.

I have never used anything below 6 myself and usually 8 is the highest I can tolerate. My guess is 1 is very low and almost unperceivable and 9 would be extremely hot and should probably be avoided unless you can handle the temperature. This pad does deep heating so I suggest you start out at 5 or 6 and determine where to go from there

This is a bad product and I would not buy it again. Snuggle Safe pet heading pads are excellent for heating areas for feral cats and rabbits. I have bought them for several years and have about a dozen and they work very well. The only reason I bought MyWarmPet was it was half price. You can heat the Snuggle Safe pads much easier and gauge their warmness by how long you keep them in the microwave. We even use them for ourselves.

How do u mean? I have 2 chinchillas that are using the cage. From what I know about sugar gliders (wish I could have them here in Hawaii but can't) I think it would suffice because it's tall enough for them to move around (they need more of a tall area vs a big low cage, right? ). My chins love it and they can't chew threw the bottom like superpet cages that have the metal bars but the bottom is plastic.

I would also like to point out not using an under tank heater for bearded dragons. They do not have any heat indicators underneath of them so they frequently end up at the vet office being treated for burns because of irresponsible owners who don't know what they are doing. Overhead heat lamps only - no under tank heaters or heat rocks!

Unfortunately, our old dog only got to use this cool pad for a month before she ran out of time, so my experience with it is limited. The website states that it cools for 3-4 hours,but it doesn't give a recharge time. Our dog seldom laid across the entire pad (but I also had bought one too big) and the exposed sections stayed cool to the touch. She would normally lay part of her body on the mat and apparently that was sufficient for her at the time. I think that she would have loved it come summertime as she was always so hot due to a heart condition and arthritis. This doesn't answer your questions, but I hope that it has helped you some.

My experience with a 70 lb golden and a 65 lb lab is that without a cover the cool pad is very prone to ripping. After having or second pad replaced we finally gave up using the pad. It is a good idea but without a cover the pad simply will not stand up to any normal use. Ours all failed with a couple of weeks.

I have this pad. I recommend always following the usage directions because if anything goes wrong, you have not a leg to stand on with the company who gave you warning. You might try lying down to put the pad on your back and cover it with a blanket or something to hold in the heat. I use the pad to cover my cold feet. It can get quite hot to touch. I keep it at around 155 f. Higher and I have to fidget to keep it from being uncomfortable. Well, I hope this was helpful. Happy heating.

I'm not sure about chinchillas, but my rats seem to have no issues with it. If you check the manufacturer website, they sell different replacement tracks for it too. Some are things like sand paper tracks for nail trimming, which don't have any holes.

I personally would not. The reason is that the rabbit loves to eat the mats and the mat only lasted at best 2 or 3 days. She had it shredded and it was everywhere for me to sweep up. Another reason is that it is a dry substance and you wouldn't want to start a fire. I am not familiar with heating pads for rabbits or other animals but I myself would not temp fate. I can tell you my rabbit had more fun ripping this apart and eating it than anything else I've given her. Hope this helps.

I would stay with the smaller heating pad cause they need cool space as well plus its really the lights you use that should keep the temperature of the tank to be over 75f.....not the heating pad (this is for when they are cool and want a place to warm up) I would check the watt of the day light u are using and maybe use a 75w or a 100w day light for reptiles and use the same watt for the night light(red light)

It should be safe for all except toddlers ;-). Yes I think your chinchilla would like to lay on it :-)

I used it inside but plugged in all the time cause my little kitty was very old. It does not get very hot, so it was just enough warmth for inside. I would think it might not get hot enough for outside, but if it is in a covered box, maybe it would work. I lost my little cat, 21 years old, this February, but I kept the pad for another day because I liked it so much.

Well I have a heated which comes with a heat pad. I'm not sure about the non heated version. But my cat loves it very much especially in the cold. If you live where it gets cold indefinitely recommend one.

Hi, I think you would be safe using it for a chinchilla. Our rabbit is approx. 7 lbs. and she fits in it just fine. She doesn't try to chew it at all. I don't think she likes to chew plastic. It comes with anchors too, so they can't move it or flip it over.

One more thing I forgot to mention is that the pad does not feel warm to the touch, if the pet is not on it. Once the pet is on it, if I feel under her body, it feels "just right" warm. I guess this is a good thing, so the pad is not hot all the time, needlessly.
