the pellets have sun seed in it, so your chinchilla would probably dig them out and eat them. I would say stay away from pellets that have treats in it. I don't know if this is a good brand or not, but i've never heard anyone recommend it. Mazuri and Oxbow are the most popular brands. If you are changing the brand, remember to do it slowly so it doesnt upset your chinchilla's stomach! This is really important. Sorry if you know this already  :) just making sure because i had no idea about this until someone tell me =]

That is not a good brand,

Try Oxbow or Mazuri both can be found at a pet store there is also Tradition or nuetrina rabbit. You want plain high quality pellets.

I use oxbow. I don't know about that brand, but usually food with treats in it isn't that good of a brand.
