Sand for chinchillas vitapol Sandeo natural 1.5 kg — dust bath sand for small rodents

Sand for chinchillas vitapol Sandeo natural 1.5 kg is a fine natural sand formulated for dust baths of chinchillas and other small rodents. Packed in a 1.5 kg bag, the sand provides a dry, free-flowing medium that helps absorb excess oils from fur, remove dirt and moisture, and support regular hygienic care. The product is intended for temporary use in a shallow bath container inside the animal’s enclosure or for supervised out-of-cage cleaning sessions.

Advantages

This natural sand is fine-grained to allow even coverage of the animal’s coat without clumping. It is dry and free of added perfumes, providing a neutral medium that does not interfere with the animal’s skin. The 1.5 kg pack offers a convenient quantity for regular hygiene sessions while being compact enough for storage. The texture and mineral composition are chosen to facilitate removal of oils and light debris from fur through gentle rolling and rubbing.

Suitable for

• Chinchillas and chinchilla mixes
• Degu, gerbils and other small rodents requiring dust baths

How to use

Pour an even layer of sand into a shallow, stable container large enough for the animal to roll comfortably. Offer the dust bath to the pet for supervised sessions of the recommended duration for the species—typically several minutes up to around 15 minutes depending on the animal’s behavior. After use, remove visible debris and clumps of sand; fully replace the sand at regular intervals or when noticeably soiled. Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry place and reseal or transfer remaining sand to a closed container to keep it dry between uses.

Usage recommendations

Use the sand for dust bathing 1–3 times per week depending on the species, coat condition and environmental humidity. Do not allow ingestion of large amounts; supervise young or inexperienced animals during initial sessions. Replace the sand more frequently in humid conditions or if it becomes contaminated with urine or feces.
