Do you own a chinchilla or are you thinking of bringing one home as a pet? Make sure you talk with your vet to learn what your chinchilla needs in terms of daily care especially when it comes to food. Your vet may warn you that chinchillas are known for their exceptional begging skills and it may be hard to refuse him when he asks for a treat. Just remember, treats must be fed in moderation. Examples of healthy chinchilla treats include alfalfa hay cubes, dried rose hips, fresh or dried herbs, fresh or dried fruit, vegetables or greens, various grains, nuts and seeds, burnt toast and even raisins. Be sure to check with your vet as to which treats are best, how much your chinchilla should have at one time, and how often the treats can be fed. Although the treats are healthy in moderation, too much can cause your chinchilla to develop diarrhea or other illnesses. Learn more from your vet Pickerington, OH.
