Why do Chinchillas take dust baths and not water baths?
As a chinchilla owner, I can tell you that chinchillas would be terrified of being immersed in, or sprayed with, water. It is not natural for them. The ancestors of our domestic chinchillas lived in the Andes Mountain Range spanning Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Peru. They lived at sea level and at high altitudes. Because of the temperature, they accumulated a lot of moisture in their fur, which is very dense. They lessened this moisture by rolling in volcanic ash found in the Andes. That practice is ingrained in all chinchillas. If you place a large igloo with Blue Cloud Chinchilla Dust in it (the best brand), even if a chin has never seen such an object, or been exposed to chin dust, it will immediately know what it is for and will quckly proceed to take his first bath. It is instinctual, not something that is taught. View www.chinchilla-advisor.com for more information on bathing chinchillas.

The chinchilla has adapted by having large ears to help other preditors. Dust and sand are common in a chinchillas habitat.

Though chinchillas mostly feed on hay if they are bought as a pet, in the wild, they know to nibble to keep their teeth trim and healthy.
