Care and hygiene for rodents
Care and hygiene, essential to the well-being of your rodents
A clean coat, healthy teeth and well-kept claws are key to the comfort of your rodent or rabbit. Chinchilla sand bath, dry shampoo, nail clippers and gnawing stones: every hygiene routine helps prevent health problems. AnimalParadise brings together gentle care products suited to the delicate skin and specific needs of your small companions.
How do I keep my chinchilla’s coat clean without a water bath?
The chinchilla dislikes water: it cleans itself by rolling in a special fine sand that absorbs sebum and untangles its thick fur. Offer it a sand bath for a few minutes several times a week, in a suitable container, for a silky coat with no residual moisture.
Should I maintain my rodent’s teeth and claws?
Yes: overly long claws hinder movement and poorly worn teeth become painful. Suitable nail clippers and gnawing accessories allow regular upkeep at home. If you are ever unsure about an abnormal tooth or claw, consult your vet.
Our range of care and hygiene for rodents
- Chinchilla bath and sand : a specific fine sand that deeply cleans the coat, with no water or product.

The AnimalParadise expert tip: avoid bathing a rodent in water, which weakens its skin and coat; favour sand, dry shampoo or a suitable wipe, and always handle the animal calmly so grooming stays a pleasant moment.
