Simply fill your Chinchilla \/ degu bath, or other suitable container, with a layer of bathing sand to a depth of 25mm to allow for thorough bathing.

Rolling in sand helps remove excess oils, shed fur, parasites, dirt, and debris, keeping their coats clean, fluffy, and healthy. Without regular sand baths, a degu’s fur can become greasy and prone to skin problems.\u003cstrong\u003ePrevents Skin Irritation and Infections\u003c\/strong\u003e A dirty coat can lead to skin irritation, fungal infections, and other dermatological issues.
