I chinnysit a friends chinchilla occasionally and the last time I forgot to put her dust bath away. Well LB, being the nosy little thing, hopped in and started having a hay day in it. I was wondering if it was okay to have this for her on occasion. I know they take dust/dirt baths outside. I just don't want her to have it if it is bad for her. I was worried about the dust that flew everywhere and wanted to make sure it was okay for her to breathe. It made her coat feel wonderful though. I don't want to deny the queen something she absolutely loves but I just want to make sure it is ok for her. She had gotten into it once before and seemed fine.Any input is greatly appreciated.
