When it comes to grooming Degus, a sandbox is a must. The animals love to roll around in the sand and clean their fur. The sand has an abrasive and degreasing effect. In the summer, it even provides a little cooling thanks to its degreasing properties. It is important that the sand does not contain any sharp crystals. Chinchilla sand, for example, is very suitable. By giving the animals the opportunity to take a sand bath, the protective and insulating function of the fur can be well preserved.
Attention! Never use shell sand in the sandbox. This sand is too sharp for the skin of the Degu.
Bathing or digging?
There are two ways to offer sand to your Degus. First of all, the animals need a sandbox with chinchilla sand to groom their fur, but on the other hand, a sandbox with digging/play sand is also very fun for the animals!
