Re: Green Split Peas, and Lentils

my chins seem to like GREEN SPLIT PEAS AND LENTILS, (dried, nice and crunchy).
are these products good for them???
the first is a fruit and the second a legume...
any thoughts;should I include these in their diet...
I happen to know that lentils are a great source of protein at least good for humans...how about chins???

thanks

Chins should not have fruits and/or vegetables in their diet. They can cause a variety of GI issues.

A healthy diet for them consists of a good quality pellet, hay, and water.

Chins actually need alow protein diet. They need more fiberous material.

Like Stacie said, high quality pellets, hay and water is all a chins needs to be healthy. If you choose to give your chins a treat, unfrosted mini wheats, rosehips, a plain cheerio, and chin safe wood would be your better bet.
