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 care for their sensitive coat by taking a sand bath . The sand ensures that the coat becomes and therefore remains in good condition. The sandbox itself must of course meet a number of requirements. First of all, it must be spacious enough so that the animals can really enjoy bathing. The sandbox must also be a bit closed, otherwise you will have sand everywhere and nowhere.

What size sandbox is suitable for Chinchillas

It is important to look at the dimensions of the sandbox to ensure that it will fit in your chinchilla's enclosure. Plenty of space is essential so that they can fully roll and bathe. It is also useful if the sandbox holds the sand well, 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 fun if the sandbox has a plexiglass viewing window, so that you as the 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 enjoy their bathing sessions safely.
