Rob having a sand bath *vid*

Awwwh hes gorgeous! :love::love: Is that your bed hes on?!? :lol: They make so much mess dont they! We bought one of the enclosed chinchilla baths, but they still manage to get it everywhere :lol:

xXx
 
He is so cute :love:

I don't know the first thing about chins - why do they have sand baths? (other than to look utterly cute while doing so :love:)

They cant bathe in water so have sand baths :) The sand keeps their fur clean from grease and dirt etc :love: Their fur is lovely, a bit like rex fur :)
 
He gets sand everywhere, my floor is covered :lol: My bed is near the window, its the only place in the room light enough to film.. now i need to hoover my bed.

If hes out and refuses to go back i just have to get his sand bath and runs straight over and jumps into it :lol:
Rob and his brother Louis used to both squeeze in the bath together and be rolling around knocking each out of the bath.
 
He's lovely!! :love:

Is he a Pink White? He looks a lot like Snowy - even in body shape! My other chin' is a lot smaller than Snowy and nothing like her in shape at all.

Lol yes - there's the sand and the poo.... no-one believes you until they've had chins' themselves as to how much poo they do! :lol:

I keep saying I'm going to get a doormat for outside the pet room door 'cos I always end up tracking sand / hay / poo all over the stairs.
 
Awwww that so adorable! :love: I've never seen a chinchilla walk around before :lol:

Are they friendly animals?
 
oh fantastic :love::love::love:

there was a girl at the vets with two chins and she said they are a bit scruffy because they havent had a bath yet.. i was like :shock: you have to bath em.... she said sand baths :oops::lol::lol: ive wondered how it happens since then.. what a lovely sight :love::love::love:
 
I put mine in the middle of the kitchen floor so i can sweep it easy - they are such messy monsters!
How often do you give yours a bath?

He normally has a quick sand bath everyday, but this was his first one in over a week cos we ran out of sand.
 
I keep my sand for ages, I just pick the poos out and and slightly top the bath up, I use a deep tub. But they only get a bath twice a week.:oops:

Rob has a tendancy to pee in the sand and roll in it :roll: So he gets around 25 mins in his bath a day before changing it.
