What types of dust do you use for your gerbils bath?
A gerbil dust bath is actually making use of chinchilla dust and sands, available at places like Petsmart and Petco. Pour a couple of inches of the sand into a bowl and place your gerbil in it. The gerbil should run and roll around, kicking up dust, making a mess, but getting clean. The fine dust captures dirt and grease that may be on their fur and leaves their coat shiny and smooth! It keeps their coat clean by removing grease and grub from it. Gerbils should always have a special place for digging in which helps to keep their fur nicely maintained. For a dust bath, use chinchilla bathing sand in a container. They will dig and roll around in it and it will keep their fur clean Please note that this is the only type of bath you should give your gerbils, as water will rinse off natural oils that insulate the gerbil and it could get sick or chill to death!
When gerbils get baths is there a soap you have to use?

Just bought bought a dust bath for Delilah-Dwarf hamster when its in her cage she just goes inside and smells around why wont she use it normally how can i get her to use it?
Try eliminating any distractions. When we want our two Russian Dwarf Hamsters to use their dust bath, we take all out all the toys, tubes and wheel for about 30 minutes. This usually gets them to go into the dust bath. It may take her a little longer to get comfortable with the dust bath and be willing to roll around in the dust, but without any distractions, Delilah should catch on quickly.
How do you use hamster bath dust?
Put the dust inside a container and fill it with enough dust to roll around in. Leave the container inside the cage for about 15-30 minutes or so and then remove and throw away the bath dust and viola! A clean and soft hammy!

Can you use chinchilla dust for gerbils?
Yes you can. As long as its not clumpy and there is no wee or poo in the sand it is ok. Best way to do this is after your Chin/s have had their bath is to pour the sand back into its bag or another container using a sieve (sifter) This will stop the poo and hay going back in the sand.
