I don't think chins can have most kinds of nuts because of the fatty oils in them. A chinchilla's liver cannot properly process that much fat.

Mine like all kinds of treat, but their favorite is probably a toss up between raisins and "horse" cookies.
 
They love their apple sticks...but only the bark. I'm gonna have to find an organic orchard to get clipping from soon...they have an expensive habit! Also, rosehips, crushed because I couldn't find whole at my local co-op.
 
Well for a treat my chin loves Rose Hips (whole). For chews she goes nuts for the Lava Bites!
 
First is Shredded wheat aka shreddies! Then anything willow and lava bites!
 
Essentia's Chin Salad and PPBN Happy Stix...so now I roll the Happy Stix in the Chin Salad before I bake them and they all get the best of both worlds.:dance3:
 
My guys still really like my cookies over the chinnie salad, but they really like both. They also love rosehips and shreddies. Then of course there is their nightly sticks that can't be beat.
 
My chins do not get treats, but healthy supplement and more.

Goji Berries
Oats and Herbal Supplement
Herbal Supplement
Rose Garden
Dandelion Garden
Multi Grain & Multi Vitamin and Mineral Supplement
Olive Leaf
 
All my chins seem to like something different when it comes to the "special" treats.
Richie likes Goji berries
Stitch likes stacy's cookies
Zucca likes crysta's cookies
Oreo & Snickers like MY herbal mix (which includes crushed rose hips)
Jack likes Shredded Wheat
Klinger likes these little teeny tiny mini cookies that came with him that i need to find out who made them!! lol
BUT one thing they all agree on and all absolutely LOVE is their nightly apple stick. All of them (with the exception of Richie) gobble that thing up in mere seconds!
 
Both my girls are big on Stacey's apple twigs.. Mischief practically inhales them, lol. She also loooves Essentia's chin salad (I can hardly put it in her bowl because she's trying to frantically eat it out of my fingers). Luna adores Carise's apple pellets. Oh, and they both also go nuts for Stacey's chin cookies. :D
 
Well my pear sticks seem to go so fast that I forget and give them another one. LOl or it could be the eyes. Sumo and Snow LOVE Essentia's salad and the cookie that was there. Jose and Gala seemed to like the salad but go nuts for sticks, Cherrio's are also a favorite BUT Jose inspects them for any medicine. LOl when he was injured he was on Bene-bac and he hated it so I tried to give it to him on cherrio's it didnt work. He was too smart for me.
 
Shredded wheat and apple sticks/twigs are a hit here!! They also like cheerios but not as much. I am going to attempt to make them cookies this week :)
