Our take

Chinchillas have famously delicate digestive systems built for a dry, high-fibre desert diet, and rich or sugary food, fruit, seeds, treats, causes serious gut trouble fast. This pellet is timothy-hay based, high in fibre, with no added sugars or seeds, exactly what a chinchilla needs as the pelleted part of its diet. As with all these animals, unlimited hay is still the foundation; the pellet is a measured daily supplement. Keep treats to a tiny piece of plain dried herb, not fruit.
