Solutions to chinchillas being picky eaters:

1. Sometimes chinchillas are picky eaters because the food fed by the breeders is too big, and chinchillas often eat half of it. If you don’t want to eat it, you will throw it away. At this time, the breeder can break the chinchilla’s food into smaller pieces so that the chinchilla will not be picky about food.

2. There are too many snacks in the chinchilla food purchased by the breeders. In addition to the regular food, some chinchilla foods also include some snacks or dried fruits, dried vegetables, etc. Every time the breeders In order to save trouble, I just feed it for a few days. At this time, the chinchilla will pick out what it likes to eat first, and will also pull out the ones it doesn't want to eat from the bowl. Breeders can choose to buy chinchilla food with only staple food, and feed only this type of food for a short period of time, so that the chinchilla is forced to eat, and over time, it will no longer be picky.

3. Some chinchillas will choose pasture. Most likely it is because the quality of the pasture purchased by the breeders is not good enough and the nutritional content of the pasture is too low. Breeders can choose to purchase high-quality forage, and then the chinchillas will not be picky eaters.

4. It may also be caused by the breeder feeding too much snacks. At this time, the breeder needs to stop feeding snacks for a period of time to allow the chinchilla to develop the habit of eating staple food and pasture. You can feed normally, but you must pay attention to the appropriate amount of snacks.

5. Breeders should also be aware that chinchillas are vegetarian animals. If the food fed by the breeder also contains animal protein, the chinchilla will refuse to eat. At this time, the chinchilla will not eat when the breeder changes the food. Be picky about food.
