Please enjoy my high quality video.
Obviously, these are just my opinions. I've owned SEVERAL Chinchillas over the last 20 years, from personal pets, to animals I've fostered in the exotic rescue. I've had hundreds pass through my care at this point in my life and I've learned quite a bit from veterinarians, other rescues, and great breeders.
I call things like dehydrated fruit and vegetable candy. It's not something that belongs in a Chinchilla's natural diet. These things are not readily available in their natural habitat, but the pellets and hay we feed them DO best mimic what they would eat : Dried grasses.
Seeds and nuts are also really hard for their bodies to digest. What they would naturally come across is very limited. Just ONE of those honey sticks would be a 's findings for a wild chin, and they're not finding sunflower and pumpkin seeds in the Andes mountains. . . and what they do find is not coated in honey.
In captivity it's very important to keep their diet bland and basic. A good quality plain pellet, like Oxbow's or Science, is perfect for any chin. In addition to that, ample hay and fresh water.
If you are going to treat your pet, get comfortable with moderation. Limit treats to one small one daily, or something more rewarding a couple times a week. Stick to things like sweet apple sticks, rose hips, or dried flowers. You can absolutely treat them with something healthy.
Never mix it into your pets pellets. Doing so may encourage poor eating habits. They'll selectively start eating just the treats and leave their pellets behind. That's another reason bottom-of-the-shelf pellets are dangerous, It's full of corn products and fruit... it's like a bowl of lucky charms!
Treats are obviously my main focus in this description.

Please, if you see animals being abused or neglected call animal control so they catch the people red handed.
Woody deserved better.
The people who sold him at the flea market should be ashamed that they kept him in these conditions, and allowed things to go untreated.

Meet my new brother, I hate him. ❤️ 🤣
Mom loves him though.
He arrived here in a storage container. His old owner didn't want him anymore, and let him and his 9 siblings get really dirty.
After a couple weeks, Mom tried to have 5 other people adopt him first, but everyone said no.
So she adopted him instead.

Hey everyone, @smallpetselect approached us with this cute little opportunity for the online Chinchilla community. They sent us a little care package featuring these Chinchillin mugs ( which I'm going to get over to Amy and Leah, our biggest chin fosters ) to show you all.
They're giving away 500 of these "chinchillin" mugs across several little communities and asked me to help spread the word.
It's fairly simple to participate in this giveaway.
1. Hop over to their YouTube channel.
2. Subscribe to their channel.
3. Leave a comment on the linked video telling them you came from our rescue community ( @califid Cali_FID) as we're a huge supporter and volunteer for Cali_FID Parrot and Exotic Rescue Sanctuary in Modesto, CA.

Also in bio now
50 of the subscribers who leave a comment stating Cali_FID sent them will receive a free chinchillin mug straight from Small Pet Select.
Little brand blurb:
I've enjoyed Small Pet Select for several years now. Their hay has always been sweet smelling and the prettiest green. Odin loves their pinecones and I have to snag several each time I order.
I know brand posts like this get annoying, but truly, I support Small Pet Select as a company. They seem to really love the little guys and have always been open to improvement and growing. They've supported Cali_FID rescue by donating hay, pellets, and even gift vouchers for adoptive homes. . . So I'm super happy to make this post for them and hope their campaign does well.

Don't waste eggs!
We literally scrambled for those things just a few short years ago. 🥚
Grumpy consented to this video, as he wanted a snack!
