almost vegan,
I posted a reply(of sorts!) in the health section.
fyi, you should use caps only when it's a real emergency.
Keep your chin's diet simple, with good fresh hay, quality pellets and water. Chamomile and rosehips are the herbs most often recommended for chins, in very tiny amounts(as they are very tiny guys). If you're not sure about the use of something like lavender, stay away from it, and keep focused on the basics. It's just not worth messing up an animal's digestive system over an exotic ingredient they didn't need in the first place.
