Beaphar XtraVital Chinchilla Bathing Sand

Introduction:

XtraVital Chinchilla Bathing Sand is designed to maintain the optimal condition of chinchilla fur by absorbing excessive fats and moisture. Its coarse texture allows for smooth distribution through the fur, minimizing dust creation. This sand is ideally suited for daily dust baths, essential in maintaining the health of the chinchilla's coat and controlling excess oil production.

Product Features:

• Absorbs Excess Fats and Moisture: Due to their dense fur, chinchillas can easily accumulate excess fats and moisture in their coat, making them prone to skin infections and matting. Bathing sand helps to absorb these impurities, leaving the chinchilla's fur clean and healthy.
• Promotes Natural Grooming: Chinchillas are known to be meticulous groomers, but they cannot clean their dense fur without the help of a bathing sand. The rough texture of the sand helps to remove dirt and debris from the fur, promoting natural grooming behavior in chinchillas.
• Prevents Skin Irritation: Chinchillas have sensitive skin, and using water to clean their fur can cause skin irritation and dryness. Bathing sand provides a gentle cleaning option that is less likely to irritate their delicate skin.
• Keeps Coat Soft and Shiny: Regular dust baths with bathing sand help to remove excess oils from the chinchilla's fur, keeping it soft and shiny. This is not only essential for their appearance but also for maintaining a healthy coat.
• Provides Mental Stimulation: Chinchillas are intelligent animals that require mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. Dust baths provide an excellent opportunity for them to engage in natural behaviors, such as digging and rolling in the sand, which helps to keep them mentally stimulated.
• Easy to Use: Bathing sand is a simple and convenient grooming tool that requires minimal effort from chinchilla owners. All you need to do is provide a bowl or container filled with bathing sand, and your chinchilla will take care of the rest!

Instructions:

1. Choose a suitable container: The container you use should be shallow enough for your chinchilla to easily access and have high walls to prevent the sand from getting scattered.
2. Pour in the sand: Fill the container with enough bathing sand to cover the bottom, about 1-2cm deep.
3. Place your chinchilla in the container: Gently place your chinchilla into the sand and allow it to roll around and play.
4. Monitor their bath time: Chinchillas should only spend a few minutes in the sand, so make sure to monitor their bath time and remove them from the container once they are done.
5. Dispose of used sand: Once your chinchilla is finished, dispose of any used sand and thoroughly clean the container before using it again.
6. Repeat regularly: Chinchillas require regular dust baths, so make sure to repeat this process daily for optimal fur health and mental stimulation.
