How do you make your own dust bath?
To make it you could just get some sand from the beach and pour the sand through a sifter so that you only get the small grains and not big chunks of sand or pebbles and such. Then use the sand as the bathing dust and put it into a container for your pet to bathe in. However, if you can't go to the beach, then just grind up a bunch of peanut shells or other types of nut shells and sift that sand too. Good luck!
