Chinchilla Diet- Charlie's Chinchilla Food
« on: April 09, 2013, 06:45:45 PM »

I have 2 adult male chinchillas who were ate Kline pellets, but recently my boyfriend found Charlie's Chinchilla Food and wanted to give it a try, and they have been eating it for about a month. I haven't found much about it, so I wanted to see if anyone else has tried it and what they think about it. Thanks!

Kline is one of the best on the market, that and Tradition, which is what mine is on. Purina rabbit show is also highly acclaimed by breeders. I just read the ingredients on Charlie Chinchilla and was horrified. Putting raisins in with the regular diet is unecessary and unhealthy. Vegetables like maize and carrots might be good for a hamster but may cause digestive upset in chins.You might be better off supplimenting with alfalfa hay.

I'm a programmer not a chinchilla breeder. I learn by asking questions just like you.

Thanks so much! I wasn't sure about it. We'll be switching back to Kline ASAP   ::silly::
