How to Feed Chinchilla Treats Safely

A chinchilla's staple is hay and pellets; treats are for bonding only. Pick low-fat, low-sugar, natural plant snacks (dried carrot, papaya, apple, rose petals, raw oats) and avoid roasted seeds, candy, and anything with preservatives or color. Keep treats under 3 g a day, skip them when the chinchilla is sick, and never give fresh high-water fruit that causes diarrhea.

If you do give them, choose raw, large, non-hollow bones and avoid cooked poultry bones that splinter; cartilage, pressure-cooked bones, fish heads, necks, tails, frames, and pork fans are safer picks.
