I'm using Witte Molen pellets, verry happy with it. My chins like it and they look healthy. I also asked a breeder first to be sure it's a good pellet to give.

Baytril is pretty heavy. I had to give it to one of my chinchillas a few months ago for a urinary tract infection. There was no extra flavor to the one I had to give and my chinchilla really hated it. I tried to put it on a treat but she smelled it right away and run from it. So in the end I...
