Help me find a good Dust please

[Paintballer]

Ok so i have had my chinchilla for over a year. Her name is Marley. I tried a Kaytee dust and it had too many sparkles and it always got all over me and all the stuff in my room. I switch to a generic non sparkle dust and it seems too rough and I feel that she needs a finer dust. Could someone recommend me the best dust without sparkles please. Thank you.

I use Blue Cloud I buy it in 50 lb bags. I know people on here sells it by the pound.

Blue Cloud is the best dust for chinchillas. You can't buy it in stores. You would either need to find someone nearby with chins who has it, or you would need to order it online. Quite a few people on this site sell it through their stores. Post a "wanted" in the classifieds or just check out the supplier thread and see who has it at the price you are willing to pay.

OP said they don't WANT sparkles. Re-read the post.

Blue Cloud is by far the best dust.

I'm going to agree, if you don't want the sparkle, go with blue cloud. But like Peggy said, chances of you finding it in a store are very slim. I seem to remember someone once finding it at a store but it was so overpriced it was ridiculous.
If you have any breeders near you, sometimes you can get it from them, or else you'll have to order it online.

Ok. I have heard of blue cloud but for some reason I thought that had sparkles too. I guess not. Thank you very much for the quick help.

I absolutely love Blue Cloud. But be prepared to pay a lot for shipping if you order it online. I just ordered 20 pounds and paid $30 in shipping alone. The best way is to find a breeder close to you that you can buy it from and pick it up from. I also know some breeders can put 10-12 pounds in a flat rate box if you can find one in your area.

Here is a picture of blue cloud dust. No sparkles at all.

Thanks everyone. I will try and find a breeder somewhere around me. I'm not sure there are any around here though.

I am very sorry to say that you severely overpaid. I order from RCR and she fits 25 lbs in a large flat rate box for $13.95 shipping. She also charges less for the dust itself ($.65 a lb I believe).

If you're still looking to pick it up relatively locally to avoid shipping, you could try Cheryl of Poetrue's Pets (poetrue on here)... she's in East Hartford, a couple hours from you. Otherwise, as mentioned, there are several members on here who sell and ship for a reasonable price.
