Expert Answer

Under normal circumstances, a chinchilla can be weaned about 45 days after birth. After weaning, the owner can feed it alfalfa hay and chinchilla pellets. A newly weaned chinchilla has a fragile digestive system, so avoid greasy, high-sugar, or high-water foods, and feed little fruit and vegetables.

In addition, the owner should properly supplement the chinchilla with vitamins, trace elements, and minerals to support normal growth and development.
