Changing Food

[chinsmom]

I need to switch Chinzillaa's food, and I know I'll need to do it more or less a step at a time in order to keeip from upsetting his little digestive system. What I need to know is, what is the ratio when mixing the new food in with what he's currently eating, and at what rate do you increase the ratio of new to old food as well as the intervals? I want to do this correctly, as I want him on the best food available but I don't want to make him sick getting him on it. I just loves that little guy!!:hug2:

1/4 new, 3/4 old x 1 week
1/2 new, 1/2 old x 1 week
3/4 new, 1/4 old x 1 week
Full switch.

Alternatively ..........

1/4 new, 3/4 old - chin eats all new, refuses old, human slave realises their position - they are already fully trained to the chin's every want .......... full switch.
