So is it natural for a baby chinchilla to just have an instinct to roll around in a dust bath?
yes..thats how they take bath :D with rolling around..so cute
Actually its very natural since if they bathe in water they have a huge chance of growing mold on their fur
Is how they bathe
They don't sweat. And the dust mixes with the oils in their fur to carry away dirt
IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIEEE!
Lol, I thought he was going to jump out a few times but he has to rethink his decision 😂
Chinchilla: *they see me rolling, they hating*
A few reasons. mainly because the dust dries them, getting rid of possible issues that being wet can bring.
Their fur is super absorbent so they suck up water really well, and that can lead to a few bad things. Odor, fungus, etc.
Water isn't just bad for their fur. Because they have 80 hairs per follicle, their fur is too dense for water to dry in, so it can actually mildew and mold because it's difficult to dry at that thickness. The ash is actually fine enough to get the dirt out and also work to separate the hairs a little, leading to a healthier coat.
Haha I like how he dings himself on the metal bowl and then looks around like "What wuz that!?"
Great video ChinTubeHD!
Yes, it is Volcanic dust. You can pick them up really esily in a pet store, just search around in the small pets section, where all the chinchillas needs are, including ferrets, hedgehogs, and hamsters. Hamsters i believe also use volcanic dust, but just search for a few containers labeled chinchilla dust or something like that.
wow... white chinchillas are super cute ^^
EEEEEE! Why is Momo so cute!!! XOXOXO for Momo the chichi!
It's an instinctive response to check for threats/predators. It's "built" in to them just like knowing how to take a dust bath for the first time.
So cute!!!! 💜💜💜
so cute thanks for posting always wondered how they bathed :)
too. much. fucking. cuteness.
i cant even.
oh my god.
i just cant.
oh.

*cute glands explode*
FUCK. NOT AGAIN. T-T

Definitely a Civilisation player. You know....
One more turn.
Marjorie from Little Britain “if you get hungry, have a bit of dust”
Beautiful
It's so cute I'm dying
nice and clean
chinchilla:

He is so cute I love momo I also have a white chinchilla
This video has taught me one thing---this animal is clearly a hamster. I learn so much from RUclips comments.
oh c'est vraiment adorablement trop mignon !!!
AWWWW! SOOOO CUTTTTE! AND I’M GETTING A CHINCHILLA TOMMOROW!
From what I have seen, they are relatively harmless. They may bite your finger, when feeding them. But hey, what animal doesn't accidently bite, when feeding them? :)
How old are the kits when you give them their first dust bath?
Ahahah! Momo's adorable! XD
I like how at the end the baby chinchilla gets out of the bowl
It's rolling arund!! CUTE :3
I love Chinchillas I have one named Meek!!!
So Cute 😍
I love white chinchila
WHO THE HELL COULD HAVE DISLIKED THIS!?!?!?
Chinchillas can't get wet, their fur is too soft, if they get wet it gets matted. The 'dust' they roll around in is volcanic ash and it removes excess oils from the fur. Getting clean probably makes them happy :D
you probably are not the type of person who can care for a chinchilla in the manner it requires. "like whatever"
That's so cute
The white ones look almost Angelic
I like this :*
I love my chinchilla and it's badass
Yes I already knew that....but the dust bath is for both hams and chins
Sooooooo cuuuuuteeeee
That's soooo cute
❤Awwww so adorable 🥰😍
lol it's too funnny and sooo cute
I love you Momo :)
i don't know if anyone's asked this yet but is it a specific type of dust they need to roll around in and clean their fur?
son tan lindos !!!!!
you're so smart
Where did u buy him?
I'm a biggest fan of chinchilla's
you just made my day with that comment :D
😍💓so cute
0:26 asmr good job
Yep, it's a wee Chin alright.
I wonder... if you're going somewhere for an entire week, do you bring them with you or leave them with someone to look after them?
omg you're almost funnier than that Oreos guy xD
Because if they get wet their fur falls out or they get a type of fungus
So according to your knowledge this hamster was exposed to radiation and that is why even though it is still a baby, it is 4 times as large as a normal hamster right?
So cut
Chins are delicate and specific. One page is not enough. You have to be absolutely positive you can afford things too, like an exotics vet, medicine, and other "just in case" remedies like bag balm. You have to read about every illness and its signs considering they're good at hiding it. They're wonderful.But you have to be 100% SURE you can handle one.
chins & hedgies is a good form, as is chinchillas (.) com for info.
If you think you can handle them, look up breeders near you.
What kind of dust do you use?
Hamsters dont have tails. Unless it ate some special food that just made it magically apear!
awww! when my chinchilla was in his first dust bath he didn't know what to do so he just sat there...
I want a chinchilla so baddddd... theyre adorable... cute fluffy goodness!!! :D I just hope they dont bite :-S
Rolling around in the dust thinking why the person with the camera is so dirty? He/she needs a dust bath!!!
why does every chinchilla pop its head out everytime it rolls
*DING*
WTF WAS THAT!?!?!
i'm like why would this be messy, watches the video.... now i see...
why do they bath in dust? someone answer?
@ilabstudios we never go on vacation so thts no problem some1 is always some and they just dont want a pet i dont have any pets like there like u have no resposiblity i'm like i do a bunch of stuff so help!
Las amo 💕💕💕😇💐🙏
When you have a baby from birth with the parents - are they any more attached to you or tamer than the parents (if you have a parent who is kind of wild and just tolerant of humans) or does it really just depend on the chins personality?
owo adorable
How do i get my mom and dad to get me a chinnie i really want 1 no slide shows or anything i already showed them a whole page about chinnie care any1 kno a place were there cheap like $45-100 near North Carolina

I don't have a pet chinchilla, so why do they need dust baths for?? just curious.

Can chinchillas still have dust baths when theyre pregnant? Do they even want to?
Cute
Anybody else worried about the bowl tipping over?
How do they smell?
DEM DRILLSS
I look at to much doges
I didn't know hamsters had such long tails or the fact that they roll around in dust...hmm interesting. maybe if i look REALLY hard, i might be able to see the hamster you are talking about

Im getting a chinchilla to a baby chinchilla
Hes a natrual!!!
Hello everyone i have a 8 mths old girl Daisy which i sucessfully trained to use the toilet during the process she had a yellow butt may i know hw to remove the yellow stain on her butt?
a hamster does not have a long tail so its a chinchilla
what does the dust do o.o?
What's a dust bath?
Wow. A whole one page of reading up about them and how to care for them? -.-'
Its critcal to keeping their fur clean and tidy , its gets rid of oil's and other nasties liquids that might be on the fur , its not a good idea to leave dust in the cage for long periods of time as it can actually cause the fur to become really dry and that can be really bad.
you cannot wash chinchilla's with water as it can lead to horrible matted fur for starters and potentially skin infections and fungus both serious issue's and worst still it could be painful for the critter.
Not bad for its first time. Check out my video called Bath Time Chinchillas to see how two veterans do it.
Can someone tell me how dust helps them get C L E A N?
