How does my chinchilla take a bath?

1. It is better to have a longer shower interval for chinchillas. If the weather is humid or the hair of the chinchillas is found to be dry, it does not matter if you can wash it every day. Any leftover jelly powder should be replaced every time. We put about two or three tablespoons of shower powder in a shower pan and let it roll around in it. Usually five minutes is enough. If it takes too long, it will drain all the shower powder in the pan. Get it out or sleep in it.

2. The frequency of bathing Chinchillas every 2-3 days has proved beneficial to the physical and mental health of chinchillas. It is also necessary to bathe every day in particularly humid weather, but it is worth noting that, Excessive bathing can cause chinchillas to have dry skin.

3. The thickness of the Chinchilla bath powder is based on the bottom of the whole bathing container. It is best to spread the bath powder with a thickness of 3 to 5 cm. However, at present, the bath powder still depends on the imported price. Best to save it.

4. If chinchillas are kept in a closed container for bathing, they should be released within 5 minutes at most, otherwise they may defecate a lot in it.

5. Chinchillas do not have sweat glands, so cleaning is very easy. Wild chinchillas bathe in volcanic ash, but the main component of volcanic ash, silicon dioxide, is harmful to humans after long-term inhalation, so artificially bred chinchillas All use alternative baths.

In the captive environment, it is usually used: fine sand mixed with talc, quartz sand, heavy calcium, bleaching earth, and synthetic pozzolanic substitutes as a bath powder for chinchillas.
