Question i have a chinchilla that is 1 1/2 years old...we have had her since she was 2mon old...she is a maniac! do they ever calm down?>? what fresh foods are good for them ? thx...
Answer Hello,
Sometimes they mellow out slightly around the age of 6 years old. But overall they are very active and hyper.
I try to avoid fresh foods as they can give them digestive problems. Some okay ones though that I give for an occasional treat is dandelion and blackberry leaves. Of course, make sure they don't have any pesticides on them.
