    Chinchillas have the softest fur in existence, they’re literal floofs

      @someoneudontknow3709 11 месяцев назад +5685

      Fun fact the reason they take dust baths is because there fur is so thick it traps water ( making there fur become moldy)
      They can't get wet because there just that fluffy

      She was returned because her owners found a sort of nick on her ear and it was slightly infected. When we told them that it was completely fine and that it wasn’t life threatening they still returned her to us. So really just no reason for the return other than the family didn’t want her.
      And two I did not adopt her as I don’t have the resources or time to be a caretaker for a chinchilla 24/7 as sweet as she was. She did however get adopted recently and went to a loving home who was ready and better prepared to give her the home she deserved

      The density and texture of chinchilla fur makes it life threating to give them a bath with water. Their fur is such a great insulator it doesn't allow them to dry properly so they die of infection or temperature flux out of their normal range. Dust is actual a good way to get rid of dirt, smell and microorganism's even humans benefit once in a while from a good dust bath.

    I used to have chinchillas, and their dust baths are extremely messy since when they roll around, the dust just flys everywhere so the thing that you put them in has to have a cover on top of it or else the room is gonna look like a vacuum cleaner was just emptied in it.
