Kaytee Chinchilla Bath Sand (4 Pack)

Dust bath

Best for: Keeping chinchillas' fur clean and healthy

Chinchillas can't be bathed in water — their dense fur stays damp. Instead they roll in fine volcanic sand, which absorbs oils and keeps the coat soft.

Our in-depth look

Who it's for

Chinchillas and degus, which need regular dust baths.

Who should skip it

Never bathe chinchillas in water. Small pets with respiratory problems should only bathe after a vet check.

Tips

Offer the bath a few times a week for about 10–15 minutes, then remove it so it stays clean. A covered bath house keeps dust contained.
