Hi all,
I know I am new and haven't introduced myself but I don't have a lot of time to be on right now. I wanted to ask real fast about something.
I have 2 chinchillas who I adopted. They are on Oxbow pellet and hay. I took the one female to the vets today for a check up and because the side of her tummy was hard. Turns out she is fine but has a small parasite which I got meds for. Now mind you this vet was recommended by a few rescues and chin owners. He is supposed to be one of the best exotic vets in the state. He told me that pellets are the "old way" and there is new info that fresh greens is best for them. Wants me to switch them off of pellets and slowly switch to fresh leafy greens. Now I have done my research for a long time and have always been told no fresh or sugary foods. However now suddenly this highly recommended vet says the new way to go is fresh?!?!?!
Someone help!
