How exactly does a dust bath keep chinchillas clean?
I know it has something to do with the thickness of their fur, but what exactly is it? And wouldn’t the dust get on them? What constitutes a clean vs. dirty chinchilla?

i have a chinchilla! it keeps their thick fur and skin from getting oil build up. nothing will stick inside their fur if they are nice and dry.
my husband even made a song about it! in the tune of Fireflies by Owl City:
🎶this song’s for oliver
your covered in real dense fur
we can’t give you a bath
cuz you’ll grow mold🎶 🐭
hope this clears it up!
