Think I'll have a look in Amazon never even thought of there to be honest there's not a lot of local pet stores and out of those only half sell anything for chinchillas. My daughters took carrots out this morning but said there was only a couple in there. But I'll look at changing it.

I bought this as they were being fed a supermarket branded rabbit musli and wanted something different from pellets to gradually introduce that wasn't too far from the musli there used to , I thought that it seemed a good option to be honest and once it's opened it looks like mainly hay with...

So we just started giving them new stuff. I've seen mum eating and she takes treats and hay. The problem is I think she's getting...

Hi my daughter has recently got 3 new chinchillas mum and 2 daughters the age of them is unknown or there back ground. The lady she got her from has had them a year and that's about as much as we know, when they arrived they were in a very small cage and fed on tesco rabbit food no hay and there...

We'll Frankie is doing much better than he was thank you everyone maybe chins can have some off days like us!! They are still caged together at min. They still have a few moments but nothing like they did. I've found if they start I've gone over to cage and told them no and walked away they do...
