Chinchillas primarily groom themselves through dust baths, which you should provide two to three times per week for about 10-15 minutes each session. You'll want to assist by offering a clean dust bath container and high-quality chinchilla dust, and occasionally using a soft brush to help remove any loose fur.
The essential supplies include a chinchilla-specific dust bath, a soft-bristled brush, nail trimmers, and gentle grooming wipes. You'll also want a dedicated dust bath container that prevents mess and allows your chinchilla to roll and clean naturally.
Only use specialized chinchilla dust made from fine volcanic ash, which is specifically designed to penetrate their dense fur and remove oils and dirt. Regular sand or other dust substitutes can be harmful and don't clean effectively.
