I saw quite a lot of breeders in here saying that oat meal is good for chins especially for growing kits.

In my country, there is not much information about what is exactly an "oat meal".
May I know what is the oat meal you guys is saying in specific?

i'm sure people with lots of chins get it in bulk, but i only have four so i go to the market..

this is the brand, which i know you are in another country.. as long as they are old fashioned and not the instant kind.. hope this link helps..

when you give oats to your chins tho.. you don't cook them or add the water.. like what the picture looks like in the bowl.. but if you look next tot he bowl, there are peices of oat

thanks jmdebb, that's exactly what I feed my chins occassionally!!

So you are feeding oat daily or just by occassion??

[jmdebb]

you are welcome, glad i could help

i actually haven't feed mine oats in awhile because i ran out.. but when i did, i did it here and there, but only because i have many types of treats so i tend to switch every day...

you can use oats every day for a treat, just don't give them a large amount...

I usually buy  mine by the month, so some months they get shedded wheat, others cheerios etc.....
 
One of my chins will only eat oatmeal. She's 15 so I give her her own way.
They all get a tiny piece of fruit and a pinch of cereal every night.
Looks like a lot when you have 4-5 chins  in the one cage, but they all manage to get their share.

Thanks, Debbie!!
As you know I am not in the same country as you are, can you pls provide me exactly the brand and style of oat that you are using for reference? So that I may seach it out rather it offer in our local supermarket or not!!
Same as you, I also agree that the way when feeding somethings that are out of their regular diet should be base on a period by period basis, but not all the times, thanks in advance!!

Any brand of old fashion oatmeal. Quaker has one called large flacked, and the supermarket brand is just called "Old Fashion" the stuff we have to cook, not the instant flavour stuff.
I get mine at a bulk store most of the time.
