Chinchillas cannot eat sweets and dried fruits. Because the chinchilla's stomach is very fragile, sweets and dried fruits contain a lot of sugar and a small amount of food additives, which will affect the chinchilla's digestion. Eating it can easily cause discomfort such as bloating, diarrhea, and vomiting. In addition, dried fruits may contain residual pesticides, which are fatal to chinchillas, so do not feed high-sugar foods such as sweets and dried fruits to chinchillas. If you must feed dried fruits, you can Appropriate amount of dried apples.

Precautions for feeding chinchillas:

1. Chinchillas cannot eat any fresh vegetables and fruits. The only foods that can be given to them are apples and foods with high water content. It is easy to cause diarrhea in chinchillas.

2. Chinchillas cannot eat peanuts and soybeans. Peanuts contain too much oil, and soybeans will swell when absorbed into the abdomen and absorb water, causing discomfort to chinchillas, and may even cause intestinal obstruction and death.

3. The leftover feed and hay should be discarded. When chinchillas eat feed and hay, they will choose fresh ones, and the rest are mostly of low nutritional value.

4. The chinchilla cage should be placed in a cool and well-ventilated place, but should not be placed in a vent. If the chinchilla is constantly blown directly by the wind, it will catch a cold.
