I would appreciate any information on this topic! Maybe to the general public, which shouldn't own them or any other exotic anyway. Sugar always turns into fat. As far as having it as a class pet. If you give them too many nuts they can get sick. While ducks in the wild eat a mostly vegetarian diet, those that are raised on farms are often fed a diet that includes corn, wheat, and soybeans.

It's fine to give them the odd rasin but I also buy woodland her age which you can get in a pet store which is a mixture of dried dandelions and nettle leaves hay and other goodies. I also feed them apple tree leaves in the summer. A few minutes later, I found an apple seed lying around. My thoughts exactly! They are both high in calcium and oxalates, and are a great source of fiber. I absolutely would not continue to do so as its said that not to give your chinchillas acidic foods, even raisins they say to only give a few at most twice a week as a treat due to the acidity of them, and the same with items that contain high amounts of sugar!

If you want to give a treat try a wood stick, new kind of hay, bit of slow cook oats ( DO NOT use the quick cook kind), a cheerio, or a shredded wheat, but no more than once a day. You can also give your pets a plain cheerio or unfrosted shredded wheat each day as a treat. DO NOT !! Can Chinchillas Eat Vegetables?

What are you saying is Apples not good for them I had run out of feed and gave them an Apple and Ban.and carrots until I can find a store around here that has food for them, Please come t to my reply,I have never run out of feed and they are not no stores around here that has any not even Walmart I try to buy a month supply I have had them about 1year they don't seem to be eating oats or ban.or carrots what should I do, get them timothy hay, they can survive off mostly that, that is the main thing they eat, Timmothy hay should be their main food source, the list said bananas are ok but theyre not, bananas should be avoided at all costs.

He's in a rather small cage, but I let him out often for excersize. Also, I will occasionally give a raisin but any food that is considered to be "wet" I will not give as they are very prone to diarrhea witch can kill them.
