I've just bought some treats for my chin off the internet - dried dandelion leaves and flowers, herbs, rosehips, stuff like that. I don't know how much of these things is okay to give him though... I have heard many people saying to just give a tiny pinch of one of these things a day, at the most. But wouldn't this type of stuff be available all the time in the wild? They wouldn't be eating hay and pellets in their natural habitat, they'd have access to all kinds of food. So do you think it's really bad for them to have more than a tiny bit of this stuff, or are people over-sensitive to it because they know chins are sensitive to other treats like fruit and veg?
Also, does everything they eat have to be dried, or is it ok to give them fresh herbs and dandelion leaves? How often would you say they could have fresh things?
I've tried alternatives to food treats like giving him pieces of wood but he is not really interested in chewing things - I think I must have been lucky with him in that dept! lol =)
