Just a question...

Is it okay to feed my chin Kaytee's Fiesta Gourmet Chin food? Or mix it in with pellets?  (it actually has pellets in it, so...)
It says:

Kaytee Fiesta Gourmet food helps small pets thrive! Packed with a fortified mix of vegetables, high fiber hay, healthful whole grains, and fruit, Fiesta contains essential nutrients for healthy small animals.

Not good at all. Seeds aren't good because chins can't properly digest that much fat, and the rest is just crap with no nutritional value.

Mazuri's a great brand and my girls really like it.

It's a marketing gimmick to have people with no knowledge of chin nutrition buy it because it contains "more" stuff. IE it's another way to jack up the price while actually giving you less quality.

It looks good, but it's not. I concur with the Mazuri comments. I buy mine from lonestarchinchilla.com and have fresh pellets delivered to my doorstep. :)

I get my applewood from Lonestar, they are VERY nice people! :)

i have to ditto basically all the other comments and say go with Mazuri... i get mine from forchinate chins... all the dried fruit is like candy... if you wanted to buy some and use it as treats (ie give them one little piece a day) and use some other pellet food, that would be fine probably...

[heavendeville]

Yep yep! I have a container of dried fruit from Sprouts that they get one a day... thier choice from a raisin, cranberry, papaya or banana chip (I chop them into quarters). ;)

What brand of chinchilla pellets do you recommend?
