I was wondering for a different treat. what kind of vegetables can i give my chins? i try to give them different treats ?
lasts longer than a edible treat
They make them because it's another product to sell. Whether or not a company says something is safe for chinchillas...WE are telling you it is not. I, personally, know chinchillas that developed bloat when they introduced vegetables to the chin's diet, then the chins went into GI stasis and died. Based on that and many many many many many many many similar storied, I'm telling you not to feed veggies.
Chinchillas are hind gut fermentors. They eat dried grasses in the wild...there are NO vegetables, nuts or fruits available to them in the wild. There are some seeds, but they are mostly grass seeds, not sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
Chins really don't need treats. Humans need to give treats. I tell every new owner that comes through my barn K.I.S.S. - Keep it simple stupid.
i give them a lil piece of a raisen once in awhile...
My chins love doritos and cheetos... those are okay to give right?
How do you know they are bored? Are they twiddling their thumbs? I wonder if my chins are bored, they sit around a lot.
