Hi!
My name is Lucy Tills and I just recently adopted a chinchilla named Reepicheep. He's a really sweet little guy and I've completely fallen in love with him in the past week that I've had him.
I'm trying to tame him a bit and get him more comfortable with me. He already let's me pet him and takes treats from my hands. I'm using the treats mainly as a source for training, but I don't want him to get fat. So I've been doing some research on various greens I can give him as treats, since he doesn't get those regularly yet. However, I read that I have you to get them organic foods which I don't currently have access to, because we don't have organic foods available consistently at our local grocery store.
So I read I could give my chinchilla grass and dandelions, but without pesticide. Is it all right if I give him grass or dandelions from my backyard?
