Bathing Chinshill (17 photos): How to choose a bupup? Can I bathe chinchilla in water? Do you need to wash them often?

Chinchilla is a small, very funny and fluffy animal. It likes everyone, and most want to buy it. Only it is necessary to provide him with the conditions of habitat so that it is perfect and comfortably felt. And one of the main components is bathing.

What is it for?

Swimming is required to:

• Clear wool;
• remove extra hairs and moisture;
• enjoy the process;
• Remove stress.

And also to any owner of a small atmosphere is interesting to follow this process. Chinchillas swims very fun and exciting. When the animal bothers in his bath, its wool becomes fluffy and acquires shine.

Is it possible to use water?

Most people have a question, you can wash your pet in water. The answer to this question is no, it is generally impossible.

And all because they have no sebaceous glands, and when wool wet, the animal can catch a cold.

If somehow the fur was still wedge, then it is worth it to immediately wrap the chinchilla with a towel and dried to the end. Despite this, situations happen when they still have to bathe an animal in the water.

If your animal stained his paws and tail, then you with a calm soul can take a small container, pour a warm water there, and a cloth carefully remove the dirt. Next, wipe the pet with a towel and dry. During drying you can use a hairdryer. The main thing is that the speed is incorporated to do not scare the pet. The final effect of this procedure is combing wool. This process requires special caution, and can take a long time.

In addition, wash the animal in water is allowed if it was strongly stained, and no way without your help can cope.

It is worth it to do as much as possible, it is impossible to allow water to fall into the eyes and ears. It should also be warm, high temperatures are prohibited.

Then the tricky pet is in the same way as in the first version. Or you can simply transfer the cage into a warm place.

In any other option, your help is not needed by chinchilla. The animal carries themselves on his own, you just need to provide him with a special bupup with sand.

How to choose a filler?

In the nature of Chinchilla makes his baths in volcanic dust. The name "sand" is pretty conditional. Remember Applying ordinary sand is impossible. His grains are very big and sharp. And they can harm the thick fur. In the event that you ask for sand, its grains will still be sharp. In addition, there is a huge number of quartz granules.

When you purchase volcanic dust, you need to follow so that it does not glitter.

Good quality product should be matte. It is quartz particles that provide shine.

A good filler should absorb water perfectly. If you add some water to it, it should instantly absorb it. The resulting wet lump after drying, as a rule, retains the form. Even for better cleansing the fur in the sand you can add talc. In addition, it is useful to make a feed sulfur there so that parasites do not appear. To this you need to resort if, in addition to chinchilla, other animals live in the house. Of course, there are no fleas on these animals, because of the thick fur, but there are cases when they appear on their tail.

A very good effect will be given a filler in which there is bactericidal and antifungal drugs.

In addition, he will remove unpleasant odors. Change the filler stands after 10, a maximum of 15 bathing. Its layer must be up to 5 cm.

These animals take baths very intensely, and the usual pallet will not suit, because the dust will fly everywhere. Therefore, it will be necessary to purchase a special checkout that will not allow the sand to fly up in all directions. And also you can make it yourself at home.

How to do yourself?

So that your favorite can swim, you will need a special joy. It must be taken with high edges, as chinchillas differ in energetic. Specialized stores have a large selection of all sorts of options. If you have problems with their acquisition, you can make a so-called bathroom bath.

At the same time, the checkout is optional to leave in a cell on an ongoing basis. There it can be overturned and contaminated.

The main task of the checkout is not to give the sand to crumble in different directions. And for these purposes you can use things like:

• Plastic container;
• plastic bucket of the desired size;
• Capacities from detergents;
• Five-grade banks.

The most simple options are the bank and the container, since everyone has these things in the house, and if not, it will not be difficult to walk to the store and there to buy them there. If you have chosen the option with a container, then close it to the end, and leave there is impossible. But you can prevent dust room pollution.

Bucket

The usual plastic bucket is good because it can be used periodically or left in a cell on an ongoing basis. Perform preference is small, but roomy buckets.

Make it as follows:

1. We take a bucket and make a hole of the required diameter;
2. edges process sandpaper;
3. The lower part of the opening should be located at a distance of 15-20 cm from the floor;
4. Fulfill the filler follows as follows: turn the bucket with a lid down and put sand there.

This option is good because of it, without any problems, you can get a pet, and thus you will not frighten the animal, and you can not harm him. To get chinchilla, take a bucket, very carefully turning it down down, open and get out.

To the negative points of the bucket refers to the fact that with a large number of sand in the room there will be a lot of dust.

Bottles and tanks from under detergents

Such capacities according to the characteristics are almost no different. And the buyment of them is made in the same way.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. We take the container and cut the hole of the desired size so that the chinchilla can be climbing calmly there;
2. We do a hole with a wide part;
3. on the hole we paste sandpaper;
4. Coupling lay so that the hole is upstairs, and then add sand;
5. The latter action is the launch of the animal.

This option has its own minuses, it is:

• Small weight - An animal without problems can knock over the container when it will climb or get out of it;
• smooth surface - Chinchilla will be difficult to cling to the cohesives to get inside and get out of the bottle;
• Weak resistance - Animal will nibble plastic, and if his pieces fall into the body, there will be bad consequences.

If you compare plastic containers with glass banks, then the second has a plus. They can not gnaw. But banks are inconvenient because during the bath procedures they can roll on the floor. There is also the likelihood that the animal can break the jar and hurt about fragments.

How often can you bathe?

Bathing process is best in the evening. It should occupy about half an hour. It happens in this way: we take a checkout, add a filler there, and put in a cage, at a comfortable place. And after it was done, Chinchilla itself climbs there and begins to swim. At the same time, it can make different sounds. So she shows their pleasure.

Animal recommended washing A couple of times a week. But in the event that your animal is quick and often dirty, then it will have to wash it more often. And if various fungal diseases occurred, the process becomes everyday.

Do not forget that in the case of fungus, the consultation of the veterinarian is obligatory. If the situation is complicated, swimming will have to stop for a while.

Chinchilla is an interesting and funny animal, which, with proper care and care, will give you many wonderful moments, will raise the mood and become a real family friend. But remember that all this will be possible only if you provide the animal due and the right comprehensive care.
