What do you use for a dust bath?

Question:
I currently use a Superpet Bath House that has long since had its hooks broken off, and I think that it is starting to leak. I think that I'll have to get a new bath soon...
What does everyone else use?


Answer:
I have custom made dustbins from DaMars. They are made out of stainless steel and are rectangular shaped. They are great because they are easy to clean and stack up nicely. Because of the way they are made, they keep the dust in the bin nicely too.


Answer:
The Superpet houses are supposed to keep the dust in really well too, but I'm always vaccuuming up a ton of dust, so I'm not so sure!


Answer:
I use a ceramic chinchilla bath, also from superpet i believe.
I usually empty them of dust after their bath and leave them in the cage for them to sleep in also, because they love to snuggle up in them for naps.


Answer:
I love those baths, but is there really enough room for them to spin around in them?


Answer:
Those ceramic ones are cute...
I have the plastic bath house ones, but I always feel bad cause some of the bigger chins have trouble rolling sometimes...I'm going to try a rubbermaid container with a hole in it and see how that goes. I used something similar a while back and it was nice for the babies too, cause everyone wasn't smushed. :P


Answer:
I use an empty cookie tin


Answer:
Suprisingly enough they seem to have plenty of room to roll around inside, the trick is getting them out of there to dump out the dust lol I have been considering one of the bath houses for when I get them moved into the same cage, just so it can be hooked to the side, but you said the hooks broke off? I guess i'll have to consider it more.


Answer:
Yup, my hooks didn't last very long!


Answer:
I use the SuperPet bath houses... but I don't even attach it to the side of the cage so I wouldn't worry if the hooks break off... to keep the dust down, I put the dust bath inside a large cat carrier and cover the side ventilation holes with a towel... it works well to keep the dust in the carrier and not all over their cages...
