Chinchilla care – cooling, hygiene and practical aids at DRD Rodent Shop®
Good chinchilla care revolves around a smart routine: a fresh habitat, practical tools, and extra support during hot weather. In this category, you'll find care products that truly help you every day, such as cooling plates , cage cleaners , urine and odor removers , and tools like a scoop , lint roller , and nail clippers . Sand baths are also essential for chinchillas, but we have separate categories for those: Chinchilla Sandboxes and Chinchilla Sand . As specialists in rodents and rabbits since 2011, we select care products focused on ease of use, reliability, and a well-maintained living environment.
Chinchillas don't tolerate heat well. A cooling pad provides a cool place to lie down when needed.

Cooling in hot weather
Chinchillas thrive in a cool, stable environment. During warmer periods, it's wise to provide an extra cool spot, such as an aluminum cooling pad . Place the pad in a quiet spot in the cage where your chinchilla can easily lie down. Tip: Keep the area around the cooling pad dry and clean to ensure it remains comfortable to use.
Hygiene & cleaning
A fresh cage starts with a routine: a daily check-up and periodic, more thorough cleaning. With a good cage cleaner and targeted odor/urine products, you can target "spots" without having to replace everything immediately. This saves time and keeps the enclosure comfortable for both you and your chinchilla. A favorite among many customers is CSI Spray Urine Remover for spot cleaning.
Handy tools for care
The right tools make grooming a lot easier. Think of a scoop for quick cleanups, a lint roller for hair/dust in the area, and nail scissors as part of your grooming kit. Small tools often provide the biggest gains in convenience.
Environment & stock (handy to take with you)
In this category, you'll also find products that help maintain a tidy environment and inventory management, such as moth traps for storage areas and products that help reduce odors. Ideal if you stock hay, bedding, or herbs and want to keep everything fresh and organized.
