Rose hips can be purchased at your local whole foods or organic grocery store for about $12/lb.
You can by them whole, or crushed and sifted.

I don't recommend the vitakraft sticks, carrot things, or the cocktail. All of these treats are high in sugar and fat- which chinchillas cannot properly digest. Over feeding these kinds of treats can result in fatty liver, diabetes and sugar od in chins.

Steven,

We never found a bricks and mortar store that had rosehips, but Chinworld.com sells them.

I have two chinchillas one standard female(sweet pea) and one violet male(booger). I am looking for rose hips but cant find any for sale other than already in food or with other treats mixed in. Do you know where to buy dried rose hips by themselves?

Jodi,

To be honest, we're not sure about fresh rosehips. One would think they are OK, but we've only used dried ones.
