Oxbow Poof Chinchilla Dust Bath 1,13kg

Dust baths are essential to your chinchilla’s physical and mental wellbeing. The sustainable collection process for Oxbow Poof Chinchilla Dust Bath involves no strip mining, explosives, or tunnelling. A layer of the dust is left at the harvest location, promoting revegetation of natural plant life. Recycle Poof as a beneficial soil additive in your garden. Available in 1.13 kg.

Chinchillas come from the high rocky slopes of the Andes mountains. There are lots of rocks but very little vegetation or standing water. So wild Chinchillas have adapted by taking dust baths in volcanic ash or dust. Bathing in dust clears away any dirt and debris on their fur, and keeps it silky soft. It protects the Chinchillas coat by absorbing extra oils and moisture. 

Features and Benefits:

• Natural – 100% chinchilla dust bath

• Promotes mental and physical wellbeing

• Encourages natural grooming behaviour

Directions for use:

Bathe your chinchilla 2-4 times per week to remove excess oil and dirt and ensure the softness and healthy condition of his fur. For bathing, use an appropriate dust bath house or stable container which cannot be tipped over. Remove dust bath house from cage after 3-5 minutes to avoid soiling and over-exposure to dust. If dust is soiled, remove and replace. Use 1 inch of dust in the bath house or container for best results. We recommend that you consult your veterinarian before using any chinchilla dust bath product if your pet is not acting normally or is sick.
