Food
Chinchilla food varies with different calciums, vitamins and minerals for your chinchilla. Chinchilla 'Mazuri' food is best recommended for
chinchilla breeders, and owners. Although very expensive, it's high in nutrition for your chinchilla to be healthy.
There are many different kinds of chinchilla food, and finding the right one for your chinchilla(s) is critical.
I would recommend to stay away from the chinchilla foods that have lots of nuts, and fruit - such as the Chinchilla 'Fiesta' brand.
Chinchillas don't need that extra moisture from the partiallly dried fruit (In the chinchilla Fiesta brand), which can lead to diarrhea, and other malfunctions with your chinchilla.
Chinchilla food doesn't tend to cost that much money, but if you buy chinchilla food in bigger amounts, it is more resourceful and cheaper on
that part.
I buy Chinchilla Complete for my 2 chinchillas' and they enjoy eating the little healthier bits of pellets first.
