Read About Choosing Chinchilla Bathing Needs

It is believed that sand and dust baths are stress relievers for chinchillas, and not just their way of keeping clean.

Things to Consider:

  • Daily dust baths are necessary to keep a chinchilla's coat free of mats.

  • Limit your chinchilla's sand baths to 10 minutes a day.

  • A weekly dust bath will help control oils and moisture.
