Hi! I'm a new chinchilla owner of two young males. I've had them on Timothy Hay with Mint since I got them a few weeks ago. But, my mom came home with Timothy Hay with Carrot this time since they were about out. And I was wondering since it is still the same brand just with carrot rather than mint, can I switch them right over to it or do I have to introduce it slowly? Any help is appreciated! Thanks so much :)
 
I never even heard of hay with mint or carrot. Is that flavored? I wouldn't think that it would make a difference, but I would give just plain hay.
 
I would just use plain Timothy. I've also never heard of it coming with mint or carrot though.
 
Yeah, I'd stick to plain timothy hay. I think Oxbow sells one that has carrots in it, but chins really shouldn't have any fruits or veggies of any kind. If it's still closed and from one of the big chain stores, you should be able to return it or exchange it for some plain timothy hay.
