Your chinchilla has descended from desert-dwelling animals so he will not be found of water baths. Thus when you want to clean your chinchilla, you need to use a dust bath instead. Purchase chinchilla sand from a reputable pet supply store. This sand is coarse enough so it won’t cause respiratory problems and yet fine enough to deep clean your chinchilla’s fur. You can use a plastic container with low sides as a bath or you can purchase one. Put a few inches of chinchilla sand into the container and place it into your pet’s enclosure. Hopefully your chinchilla’s instincts will kick in and he will jump in and roll around. If he doesn’t roll around, remove the dust bath so he doesn’t use it as a litter box. Just try another time and eventually your chinchilla will get the hang of it. Contact your veterinary clinic Salisbury, NC to learn more.
