Video?

Hi all, I found this video in which a chin eats spaghetti. Is this even safe? Because I know most pasta is just made of wheat.

The thing that concerns me about spaghetti is that it also contains eggs which chinchillas should not have. Wheat can be used as an occasional treat but it's high in phosphorus, which, if given too much, will cause calcium deficiency in chinchillas by removing calcium from their system. I think there are better things to give Snickerdoodle as a treat.
