Just because it's made for chinchillas doesn't make a it healthy for them. This food has far too many "treats" in it. A Chinchilla should be allowed 1 or 2 treats a day...not a bowl full. I would not recommend this brand of food for chins.

He loves the little "treats" in this food. I can tell he's happier when he gets this than when I give him food w/o the treats. Yeah the treats might not technically be as healthy as other brands without them, but I'm not about to take away one of his few pleasures in his brief life.

This is not a healthy product for chinchillas. A chinchilla who is fed this will invariably dig out the sweet stuff and leave all the healthy pellets at the bottom of his cage. This diet will result in a chin with a shortened life span and bad digging habits. Chinchillas need lots of dry timothy hay, a plain, high fiber alfalfa pellet, and 1/2 teaspoon a day of oats or oatmeal for a treat. Be a good chinchilla owner, feed something healthy for it, not something that looks yummy for you.

I see a few reviewers saying that there are too many "treats" in this mix and not enough pellets. I suppose that could be an issue if you aren't providing fresh hay and cubes. My chin goes for the fresh hay first then this stuff then the hay cubes. I suppose it comes down to how much work you put into your chin's diet. Since I don't expect any one bag to cover every need this provides a nice balance along with fresh hay, hay cubes, vitamin drops in the water and a raisin each day. My girl is going strong off that diet even as a senior chinchilla citizen.

I have four chinchillas & they will not eat this food, not even the treats in it. Also, it contains sunflower seeds which I've read in a lot of research that chinchillas should not have. Will donate it instead of returning maybe a bunnies will like it.
