Got it from a friend who doesn't have any use for it, it's never been opened. I guess it's available locally and was just curious if any of you thought it is just junk food or if it's half way decent. Before I even consider giving it to Rex and Penelope.

Isn't that the rabbit food that they sell at walmart? It sounds familiar.

 

[Christina Noraas]

Not sure. I don't go to walmart often because the closest one is about an hour or so away from us, and I don't go to the animal section except for cat litter or dog food if that, we generally buy that stuff from Fleet Farm.

 

[AZChins]

I guess that you could get it other stores. But, still, if it's the stuff I am thinking it is, it isn't really the greatest thing to feed chinchillas.

Alright I'll see if I can give it back to them and see if they have a receipt or something so they can return it and get some money back if no one is going to use it. Thanks.

If it can't be returned you could always donate it to a local animal shelter. I just thought of it because our spca usually has at least a few rabbits.

IMO I don't see any glaring problem with the nutritional analysis or ingrediants, but pet store food or big box store food can be on the shelves a LONG time, that would be my issue, being able to get fresh pellets and to do it consistant enough. I would not transition them to that for that reason.

 

[Christina Noraas]

There isn't an animal shelter in Isle or Mc Gregor the two closest towns to us but I'm not sure about Mora...

Okay, thanks.
