Tiny Friends Farm Bathing Sand is essential for chinchillas and is also a very nice treat for hamsters, gerbils and degus. At the Tiny Friends Farm in Hadleigh, Suffolk, we believe that the very best bathing sand should be soft and kind, even for pets with sensitive skin. Our bathing sand is absorbent and promotes a clean, healthy and shiny coat. It is fantastic fun for tiny friends with big personalities! Allow 2.5cm/1in of Tiny Friends Farm Bathing Sand in a high-sided tray. Chinchillas will enjoy a sand bath every day, whilst hamsters, gerbils and degus prefer to bathe two or three times a week. Only allow your pet to bathe for up to 10-20 minutes at a time to help prevent dry skin. Remove soiled sand immediately and change the sand at least once a week. This sand is 100% natural, dust-free, and bacteria-free, making it naturally absorbent. It is the choice of many owners of show chinchillas for ideal coat condition. The reusable tube container can also be used for animal enrichment, such as a hay container, or for play and running for smaller pets like gerbils and hamsters.
