Why do chinchillas need to take dust baths instead of normal water baths?
Based on my research, they take dust baths because it is healthy for them. I'm not so much help, sorry. :)You are right; you aren't much help.Here is another opinion.First, chinchillas are native to dry areas where there is not much water.Second, the dust baths get rid of excess oils and moisture on the fur which would not happen in a water bath.In conclusion here is the ovarall reason:It's healthy for themIt gets rid of excess oils and moisture on their coatThey come from dry areasAnd my extra answer - chinchillas have such dense fur that if they had a bath in water - their fur wouldn't properly dry.

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.
