Hey everyone.
My chinchilla came with a bucket of food, which she was quite happy with. A few weeks ago I learned that it was full of bugs and had to pitch it. I asked her owners what the food was, and they did not know. So I bought Mazuri pellets and hoped for the best.
Well, she didn't like them very much. She'd eat about a third of them nightly. I tried making a sachet of Essentia's flower salad and putting it in her food to let the pellets "marinate" in the smell.
It has been a week or so and she still won't really eat the pellets. I don't know what to do... she's not eating very well, and she has reduced the amount of hay she eats nightly. It's very concerning, and she has lost about 40g.
What should I do?
