plzz plzz take out the hayball my chin broke its leg from it

I’m not trying to offend you or anything, but I highly recommend taking out the hay ball and the wheel that you are using. That wheel is made out of plastic, and plastic is toxic to chinchillas. Also, chinchillas need very specific wheels made specifically for chinchillas. The reason why you shouldn’t have a hay ball ( the wire sphere that you store your hay inside) is because chinchillas can get their feet stuck inside of them and break their bones. I can tell that you care about your chinchillas, so you should switch your cage accessories :)

I‘ve had a chinchilla for almost 2 years now and feed him freeze dried strawberries- I bought these from the pet store, but sometimes I get a little carried away because he loves them sooo much (I know, they love anything lol) but would you say those probably aren’t great for him at all? or in moderation, like once a week?

Chinchillas are a semi-desert species. So they are not designed to handle sugar or oils well. They cannot eat any fresh or dried fruits or vegetables or like seeds or nuts. When they consume things like this, it created gas in their stomach; however, unlike cats or dogs, they cannot release the gas build-up. This is called GI Stasis and can be fatal in chinchillas. Here are a few safe treat options: one plain cheerio per day, dried rose petals, rose hips, plain shredded wheat in moderation, etc. They make a lot of safe treat bundles on Etsy! Just check out Pandamonium Pets!

Plastic can really harm if not kill your chins that includes plastic shelves if not covered with anti-pill fleece. Wheels and such as hould be at least 15 in in diameter
