Chinchilla Feeding

[Siany]

After finding out Charlie Chinchilla wasnt good for my lovlies, ive been trying to find a decent pellet food, in doing this i am finding it really difficult as Charlie Chinchilla pops up everywhere and being from the UK pellets dont seem as popular, well im definatly switching over to pellet food but would like a little help choosing. Remember im from the UK and over seas food is no good for me, any help you can give me is a big stamped thank you

I found this pellet food and am wondering what you think :-

that pellet doesn't sound very good to me, according to the ingredients. you want to find a pellet that has alfalfa or timothy as the first ingredient.

There's a link to it. I believe another good brand is Charnwood(s).

Beaphar + looks really good, my chins love yucca wood so it being in the ingrediants seems like a great option and i love the look of it too, it doesnt look boring lol

Thank you

Definitely go with the Beaphar +. The Beaphar Xtra Vital has raisins in it, which are not good for chinchillas. I use the Beaphar+ with one of my chinnies, and he LOVES it.

I went to Pets At Home today and they only had the extra vital so i decided to wait till next week and i will buy a bulk online . I didnt think my chinnies were that selective till i started watching them eat and i want them to be healthy.
