With a healthy diet and tasty variety, our range of food & treats for chinchillas help to keep them full of life and looking their best!
Chinchillas are natural herbivores, so need a varied diet every day, keeping meals interesting and delivering essential nutrients. Make sure you provide your chinchilla with these main foods:
1) High-Quality Hay – Providing long fibre, feeding hay supports dental and digestive health. This should make up the majority of their diet, with at least their own body size in fresh feeding hay being made available every day.
2) A Balanced Kibble/Pellet – Essential for delivering balanced vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, a balanced, prepared Chinchilla food should be made available daily, according to the product feeding guide. This helps to prevent deficiencies and support overall health and condition.
3) Fresh Vegetables and Herbs – Providing a tasty selection of fresh, chinchilla-friendly snacks helps to easily add variety to your pet’s diet, while delivering assorted nutrients. Try feeding tasty snacks like fresh herb mixes, kale and other leafy greens, dandelion leaves and more! Take care with fruit, this should only be fed as an occasional treat. Always make sure it is safe for your pet to consume anything before feeding.
4) Optional Treats – Treats can be a healthy addition to your pet’s diet, but should be fed in moderation. They’re perfect for adding variety, and for building a stronger bond with your pet through hand feeding. You can also try scattering them around your pet’s cage to encourage natural foraging instincts!
