Yes, chinchillas do need regular dust baths to help maintain their fur and skin health. Chinchillas have dense fur that can easily trap moisture, and dust baths help remove excess oils and dirt from their fur. It's important to provide a suitable dust bath material, such as volcanic ash or specialized chinchilla dust, for them to roll in several times a week.
