Hello,

I am a little bit worried about my chin. I am feeding him hay and pellets and chin food from the pet store but in the last month i gave him walnuts (half or a quarter of the pulp) every night i got him back to his cage. He really loves walnuts.
The bad thing is i just read here on the forums that walnuts are a big "no go" for the chins, because of the liver problems.
My question is: what to give him as a treat now that i used him with treats?

Any idea?
Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan, raisins are good as a treat the odd time. I would personally only give half a raisin once every few days though as too many are very dangerous. Rolled oats are good too. I'd say a half a teaspoon about twice a week wouldn't do any harm. My personal favourite is applewood twigs. Very healthy, good for their teeth and they go bonkers for them. Hope that helps.

Yes they don't need treats.Their little tummies are so small so keep treats proportionate.
Most unsweetened cereals are good.Shreddies, shredded wheat, cheerios.....
Anyone ever try puffed rice and or puffed wheat?

Ill get some cheerios, shredded wheat and ill get him some applewood twigs
