Description
Chinchillas should have a sand bath every day. Place a high quality sand, into a high sided box or cat litter tray, and let your chinchillas roll around in it. They will thoroughly enjoy themselves and the sand will help to keep their coats healthy by removing excess oils. Always remove soiled sand immediately, and change all the sand once a week. Chinchillas must not be bathed in water as their coats absorb water and are very difficult to dry out. Water in the fur may cause hypothermia which, in turn, could prove fatal.
