You can order substrate for Chinchillas quickly and easily at DRD Rodent Shop ®
Chinchillas are naturally clean animals and often choose a designated litter box. Therefore, a smart litter box layout works best: a litter box with absorbent, dust-reducing litter, along with additional platforms or resting areas that are easy to clean with hemp mats or washable mats. In this category, you'll find litter that we carefully select for dust reduction, comfort, absorption, and practical maintenance – so you can maintain a fresh environment and your chinchilla can live comfortably. DRD Rodent Shop ® has been a specialist since 2011 and delivers quickly from our own stock.
Types of substrate for chinchillas
Soft, absorbent and practical for toilet bins.
Light, fresh and handy as a toilet refill or supplement.
Highly absorbent and ideal for permanent pee spots.
Grip, less mess and quick to replace.
Comfortable and reusable for fixed lying positions.
What do you choose when?
- Toilet tray: paper/pulp or cotton granules for good absorption.
- Platforms & levels: hemp mats for grip and overview.
- Comfort areas: fat bed or washable mats (provided they have not been gnawed).
- Less mess: use toilet bowl and tray solutions instead of filling the entire enclosure.
Checklist: choosing ground cover
- Dust-free: Choose bedding that is comfortable for the respiratory tract and keeps the enclosure clean. Even with dust-free products, good ventilation and regular maintenance remain important.
- Non-clumping: bedding should not form hard clumps when moist.
- Absorption: especially important for fixed urinary areas.
- Practical: easy to scoop, replace or wash.
- Observe behavior: Is your chinchilla chewing on mats? Then choose an alternative.
Practical tips
- Toilet training: place the litter box in the spot where your chinchilla naturally urinates.
- Combine cleverly: toilet tray + mats on tiers provide peace and clarity.
- Refill instead of replacing everything: removing wet spots daily prolongs freshness.
Hygiene & maintenance
- Daily: Remove wet spots and droppings.
- Weekly: completely clean the toilet bowl.
- Periodically: clean trays, mats and edges.
- Observe your animals: changes in urinating behavior or soiling may be a reason to adjust the layout or bedding.
Safety
- Dust reduction remains a priority: especially for sensitive airways.
- Usage-oriented: a toilet bowl + tray solution is often sufficient.
- Beware of chewing on mats/cloths: some chinchillas chew intensively on textiles. In that case, washable mats are less suitable, and we recommend switching to an alternative surface.
- When in doubt, consult a veterinarian with experience with small rodents.
FAQ Ground Covering for Chinchillas
Do I need to fill the entire enclosure with bedding?
No. Many chinchillas are satisfied with a litter box with absorbent litter and mats on shelves.
What is best for a toilet bowl?
In practice, paper/pulp (Back 2 Nature) or cotton granules work most absorbently and clearly.
Are washable mats always suitable?
Only if your chinchilla isn't chewing on it intensively. If your chinchilla is chewing, an alternative is safer.
How often should I change?
Remove wet spots daily, replace toilet paper weekly and clean more thoroughly periodically.
