Chinchillas have a coat that feels soft to touch and actually does not need a lot of maintenance. They will, however, still have a lot to gain from assisted grooming from their keepers. Grooming will keep their fur looking good and healthy. Also, pet chinchillas require their ears cleaned regularly, and their teeth and nails regularly inspected.
The very soft hair coats of chinchillas will have much to gain from dust baths being regular in order to aid in the absorption of excess oil. And this helps in keeping the hair coat fluffy and soft.
In instances where your pet chinchilla may get some stink on its body, a bath using water and soap can help with the problem. Just ensure that you thoroughly dry your chinchilla after the bath because any remaining moisture within the fur and body can become a conducive thriving ground for fungal infections. This possible fungal infection could then lead to substantial loss of fur in chinchillas. These dust baths normally are given a few times
Any sign of illness exhibited by your pet should be brought to the attention of your animal hospital San Antonio TX.
