Chinchillas have specific requirements when it comes to their coat care . The animals must have a good and suitable sandbox with a layer of chinchilla sand in it. Chinchillas take care of their sensitive fur by taking a sand bath . The sand mainly ensures that the coat becomes and remains in good condition. The sandpit itself must of course meet a number of requirements. For example, it must first of all be spacious enough, so that the animals can really enjoy bathing. The sandbox must also be a bit closed, otherwise you will have the sand everywhere and nowhere.

What size sandpit is suitable for Chinchillas

It's important to look at the dimensions of the sandbox to make sure it will fit your chinchillas' enclosure. A lot of space is essential, so that they can roll and bathe fully. It is also useful if the sandbox keeps the sand inside, otherwise half of it will be next to the box! Fortunately, our chinchilla sandboxes are designed to keep the sand in place. And it's extra nice if the sandbox has a Plexiglas viewing window, so that you as owner can enjoy the spectacle when your chinchillas roll in the sand.

Can you use a wooden or synthetic/plastic sandbox for Chinchillas?

If you choose a wooden or plastic sandbox, it is smart to only give it to your chinchillas under supervision. Do you want to place the sandbox permanently in the enclosure? Then it is best to choose a sturdy and gnaw-resistant sandbox, so that your chinchillas can safely enjoy their bathing sessions.
