    PLEASE do not feed your chinchillas ANY type of nut or ANY type of fruit, including raisins. Chinchillas basically have no digestive system, and if you feed them foods like nuts and fruit which are filled with fats and sugars, they can get upset stomachs, soft poops, or even diabetes. They may also become overweight.

    ONLY feed your chinchilla proper pellets that do not contain extra nuts, fruits, or crappy simulated "flavours", along with good fresh (GREEN) timothy hay. You may also feed them other types of hay if you like, but do not substitute these types for timothy hay which is the best for their little systems.

    We just purchased a 1yr old male chinchilla for our daughter, his name is Charlie :) we have only had him for less than a day but he seems fun :) I have him in my closed door office and have been allowing him to roam around today, very curious little friends, aren't they? :) He was sniffing out my popcorn... is it ok for them to try ??

    I buy bulk dried cranberries, rasins, almonds, grounded unsalted peanuts, cornflakes, dates, and dried apricots. They love them
    and they are so cheap
    Just don't give them a whole date or a dried apricot it's a bit too much for them in my opinion
    You can give them anything really just make sure that you give it to them in very small portions and not too much one day
    granulated peanuts work best if you are doing a series of tricks because they are so small that yu are giving them 1/6 og a peanut not more. For awesome treats when they don't shut up at night I give them a whole peanut in the cover thing they come in. They love ripping it off to get to the peanut ^_^
