1. Wipe with a warm towel, but dry it: under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to directly wash the chinchilla for cleaning. , so we can wipe the chinchilla clean with a warm damp towel, and then dry it with a hair dryer. It should be noted that the temperature of the hair dryer should not be too high, and try to adjust it to a low gear. I would rather take a longer time, and don't scare my chinchillas because of this.

2. Shearing: If it is really impossible to clean up, then you can only shear the chinchilla to make the hair in this position grow again. However, it should be noted that the skin of chinchillas is very fragile, so you must be very careful when shearing, keep your chinchillas in place, and don't let it move around, so as not to accidentally hurt it and cause bleeding.

There are not many ways to solve the problem of yellow butt hair, so it can only be prevented by the owner paying attention to cleaning. Or you can lay a layer of sawdust in the cat cage, which can speed up the absorption of urine and prevent the chinchilla's butt from being contaminated with too much urine and yellowing of the coat.
