Hi guys,
Chichi is a smaller sized chinchilla (525-550g). She is rather skinny looking, but she does eat. Her kids, Tribble and Tia, are very round in shape and weigh around 650g.They are really healthy looking.
I have been giving Chichi loose alfalfa during playtime. She really goes to town on it. I'm hoping it helps her pickup some weight. My question: Is it okay to give her this loose alfalfa daily? I have searched the threads and it seems alfalfa has a bad rap but that there isn't a real danger to it.
I also give Tribble and Tia alfalfa during playtime, but they only eat a little bit. Chichi is the one who really loves it.
