hi there i've kept chacos for nearly 5 years. i'd be happy to help you out with any concerns you might have with yours. email: kepler_23@hotmail.com

as far as chaco hybernation is concerned, a friend in Argentina has said that he does semi-hybernate his chacos during the winter, but out of fear of keeping them at temperatures say between 40 and 60, i've never done it. it is completely unnecessary (at least so it seems now) because the chacos become very dormant during the late fall and winter months naturally, even with the daylight on in 70s temps. they'll eat very little during this time, but of course you should still offer a little food and make adjustments according to their needs and moods. for any other info, don't hesitate to write.
