chins are very sensitive and delicate, you have to be very careful with them.. i have some blue cloud and blue sparkle just to let you know.. these are two that are top of the line.

I LOOKED AROUND ON OTHER SITES AND IT TURNS OUT THAT SCENTED DUST IS BAD FOR THE CHINS. IT CAUSES RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS AND INFECTION

I WAS WONDERING THE SAME THING BECAUSE ALL THOUGH CHINS DONT SMELL BAD IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE SCENTED DUST DIDNT AFFECT THEM IN A BAD WAY

Does anyone know if the scented dust baths, particularly the Pet Sensations Vanilla Bean Chinchilla dust, is bad for the chinchillas?? I had a vet tell me that chinchillas should absolutely never have anything scented in their cage bc they could develop respiratory problems down the road. Does anyone use this for their chins?? If so, have you experienced or heard of any issues that may come about???

Thank you to everyone who responds!!
