Chinchillas have specific requirements when it comes to their coat care. The animals must have a sandbox with a layer of chinchilla sand in it. Chinchillas take care of their sensitive fur by taking a sand bath. In particular, the sand ensures that the coat is degreased and thus remains in good condition.
We recommend that you always take a good look at the dimensions of the sandbox in order to make a proper assessment of whether the sandbox is suitable for your accommodation and animals. A sandbox for chinchillas should be large enough to comfortably roll in. The sandbox should also keep in as much sand as possible. If we let chinchillas bathe on a flat tray, there will be more sand next to the tray than in it within a considerable time. Our chinchilla sandboxes are made in such a way that they keep as much sand in as possible. It is also nice if a sandbox is open from above. This makes it easier to get the poop out. A sandbox with plexiglass is great fun for the owners because we can see the chinchillas rolling in the sand so well.
When using a plastic sandbox, we recommend that you only offer it to your chinchillas under supervision. Do you really want to permanently place the sandbox in the accommodation? Then we recommend choosing a gnawing-resistant sandbox.
