Default Re: Chinchilla dust

The sand actually feels like sand, very fine beach sand texture. The only one we have found that is suitable is the Charlie Chinchilla bathing sand and it comes in like a 2l milk bottle style plastic carrier.
You can also use silver sand (for lawns) but you need to bake this for a little while in the oven to dry and sterilise it. It works out a lot cheaper than Chinchilla sand if you do this though.
