Chinchillas take dust baths to clean their fur and get rid of excess moisture

Fun fact: Because chinchilla fur is so dense, they take dust baths to clean their fur and to get rid of excess moisture 🏝️🐭🩳

Hey everyone! We recently dubbed our biggest videos in 15 languages in the hopes of introducing our shorts to more people across the globe! If you want to change the language you can simply click “audio track” and select the language of your choice

I love how gentle they roll around while real chinchillas just baptize the room in dust

[Archelaus]

These always make me happy. There's just something so pure and innocent about these shorts.

I love how the children's faces don't change at all, they just emotionlessly roll around on the sand

Broooo. The dad's shirt!!! "I'd rather be surfing in Costa Rica". I love that because the literal word "Chinchilla" is a common last name almost exclusively there. As someone native from Costa Rica I love this sm!!

They even sell special dust for pet chinchillas that you use for dust baths.. It makes sense but in the weirdest way

[christiansanchez]

As a former chinchilla owner its a lot more thrashing than it is rolling. I swear bro was trying to do flips every time he took a dust bath 😂

Bonus fact: Chinchillas have to avoid getting their fur wet because their fur is too dense to allow it to dry properly.

Shoot I wish chinchilla dust baths were that calm

I've seen Chinchillas do this, and at first, I didn't understand it, but I thought it was adorable.

I work at a petsmart and we have the sweetest chinchilla who was returned to us, she loves her dust baths and come to the opening of her enclosure EVERYTIME I refill her water or food to say hi while I switch out a marble cooling slab for her and to give her a dust bath. She’s so sweet

Greetings from Costa Rica ❤ from a fellow chinchilla enthusiast!!

[Larkspur_yell]

If you were wondering, they do this becuase: if they bathe in water, they fur is so fluffy and hard to dry, it may stay wet and grow mold. Please don't was your chinchillas with water! : love this channel btw ❤
Edit 1: thank you all for the likes! I'm happy now lol!

Putting sand in his drawers and elastic snapping back had me rolling. LMAO.

Chinchillas are so cute, esp when they do their dust baths.

[한WOO]

Wow, finally I like your videos, but I had a hard time understanding all the videos with my poor English skills. Thanks to you, I can enjoy watching them

[yetigamr]

Being a owner of a Chinchilla, I can relate. Their dust gets everywhere. It's also adorable to watch them as well. They do a full 360 and it's just so cute.

[ariistra]

Its cuz their fur is so thick, if water got in, it would take so long to dry that it would grow bacteria and mold

[Frompulous]

Fun fact If chinchillas get submerged in water the fur of the chinchilla will start to mold witch is why they take dust baths

[spunchbob.]

They take dust baths because if they get wet, their fur grows moldy.
