Rivendell Chinchillas

Treats

Do chins really NEED treats? They sure do, almost as much as we need all the grease in McDonald's french fries. So remember to be picky when choosing treats for your chin, keeping away from too much sugar especially, and remember everything in moderation. It can be hard to resist that cute little nose trying to convince you that it needs just one more treat, but it's better than having a vet bill, especially one to have your favorite chin put to sleep.
Remember that chins have very sensitive digestion systems, so limit it to one (yes I said ONE) treat per day. Good treats include:


Rose Hips (check your health food store)
Un-frosted Shredded Mini Wheat's
Small amount of slow cook oatmeal
Wood twigs, or other shreddy toys ( can give in unlimited amounts)
Some people use supplement to supplement and as a treat
Try some different kinds of hay


Remember that treats are really more for us, than for the chins. They make people feel like good owners, by making their pets happy, but don't let this fool you, because a sick unhealthy chin is not a happy chin!
