I have 2 Chinchillas and feed them chinchilla pellets and meadow hay. Occasionally they have treats in the form of peanuts in shells and chinchilla cocktail. I was just wondering if anyone knows what else they might like to eat?

I've never had one but yours sound like well cared for chinchillas. I see where raisins (maybe half a raisin a day) are also considered a treat every now and then but apparently extra special care should be taken with their diet.
Here's some links...

Thank you so much for your response and for the links. I will go into them to get some more information. I have had my chinchillas for 12 years now and yes - they are very spoilt but they are definately worth it.
