Title: Herbs to eat
Post by: gasaraki03 on October 11, 2012, 04:09:14 PM

The vet apertally gave my chinchilla some basil and thyme. Remember reading in book in wild that they eat like 24 different plants in the wild. So was wonder what is safe for them to eat and could you give them some greens as like treat or something. My brother grew some herbs and has plenty of basil would it be good for chinchillas or just stick to hay and pellets only with occasional treat. Ask since know most vets aren't chinchillas experts.

Jean, why is it unsafe to mix herbs?
