Chinchillas are unique among small pets in that they clean themselves through dust bathing rather than water — a behaviour essential for maintaining the health and condition of their extraordinarily dense fur. The Critter’s Choice Chinchilla Bathing Powder is a 4.5kg mineral sand and calcium formula specifically developed for chinchilla care, providing the fine, absorbent dust that chinchillas need for effective self-cleaning. At £25.29, it’s one of the most complete and best-value chinchilla bathing solutions available.
What Is Critter’s Choice Chinchilla Bathing Powder?
This is a fine mineral sand and calcium bathing powder specifically formulated for chinchillas. Chinchillas have extremely dense fur (up to 60 hairs per follicle) that cannot be washed with water — water causes the fur to mat and can lead to fungal infections. Instead, chinchillas roll in fine dust that absorbs excess oils and moisture from the fur, keeping it clean, dry, and in optimal condition. The Critter’s Choice formula is specifically designed to replicate the volcanic ash that wild chinchillas use for bathing in their natural Andean habitat.
