What does a chinchilla like as a treat?

Answer by  JaydeesLaydee (523)

Mine like raisins...only one or two will be sufficient though. If you don't have any access to raisins, small pieces of apple, banana, or similar fruits will usually satisfy them.

Chinchillas cannot process sugars properly so their treat options are limited. Dried rosehips are a commonly fed healthy treat for chinchillas and are available for purchase through various websites as well as health food stores. They also enjoy apple wood as a chew toy and this can also be used as a treat.

Chinchillas tend to like fruits with seeds, pieces of vegetables such as carrots and parsley, and store bought commercial treats such as chinchilla crackers.

no pitted fruit and no bigger than a sugar cube. high fiber low fat. rose chips, rasins, dried papaya, apples, almonds, but they will typically never say noooo to a raisin. Try the rasin first but remember dont give them too much because it could be bad for them to have too much.

Chinchillas have to be fed the right food as their digestion is sensitive. They like fruit and nuts so treats like raisins, banana pieces and apple can be given to them. The pet shop where they sell these creatures will have some specially developed treat you can buy.
