Some people put the chin and the dust pan in the dry bath tub, then wash the dust down the drain when the chin has gone back to their home. Another method is to have the dust pan in a large pet carrier placed in an area that can be easily swept up. Place the chin in the carrier and wait 15 minutes. DIET Feeding is really quite easy and not expensive. Always have fresh water in the bottle.
Some keepers use boiled or bottled water to prevent disease.
Check with your vet and other chin folks in your area. Basic, fresh chinchilla pellets are the foundation of the diet. If not, guinea pigs pellets can be used or rabbit pellets as a last resort. Read the labels on each type of these and you will come to understand the differences. I prefer to use Chin pellets with NO treat foods added.
