One packet will last a typical chinchilla 33 days

Caring for your Chinchilla

Originally, chinchillas lived in dry areas with little vegetation, feeding on dry grass, herbs and bushes. The variety of their food was minimal: a lot of woody fibres, little moisture and no fat. This has resulted in the intestinal system of the chinchilla being very sensitive.

XtraVital chinchilla food is completely in tune with the nutritional needs of chinchillas. XtraVital ensures your chinchilla will receive the required balance of ingredients plus extra high fibre levels. The inclusion of raisins ensures an easily accessible, low fat, energy source. MOS (mannon oligosaccharide), in combination with the high fibre content, encourages an optimal intestinal flora for your chinchilla.

Dietary advice:
Chinchillas like routine,so it is important that you feed your chinchilla at approximately the same time every day. The great taste of XtraVital food will ensure that your chinchilla will immediately accept it. However, it is advisable to carefully follow your chinchilla’s food consumption for the first few days, and perhaps mix XtraVital with your current food to begin with. The amount of XtraVital food should then gradually be increased.

Recommendations:
In the wild, chinchillas look after their coat by taking sand baths. A clean, well-groomed coat is essential for chinchillas. Give your chinchilla its sand bath regularly, so it can take a daily bath if it wants to.
