Dried fruit?

[CutiePie]

Can chinchillas have all natural dried apples, pears, or strawberries? They are organic and contain NO sugars, NO nothing. Its just dried fruit.

Please let me know if they can have either, none or all of those 3 fruits when dried.

I also wonder about this too, it will be interesting to see what people say im sure ive seen people on here asking similar things and people still saying its a no no because they do have natural sugars..... im not sure though sorry..

No. It is not the added sugars (Which are also bad). It is the natural sugars that we avoid.

 

[Siany]

ahhh i thought so...

 

[CutiePie]

So they would not be safe then? even though they are dried? wouldnt that take away most of the natural sugars?

 

[GorillaJTA]

Drying only takes away water- it actually concentrates the sugars by volume.

 

[CutiePie]

so then they are bad? lol
Ok, thanks guys

NO fruits, NO vegetables.

Fresh or dried.

End of story.

none of those items or any dried fruit is recommended for chinchillas.
