A chinchilla has a very sensitive digestive system. Not only is too many treats a bad thing but changing brands of food too quickly can cause huge problems for them. If you are going to change foods, always mix in the new with some of the old bit by bit until they are used to it. This is to not shock their system. Never give a chinchilla any kind of rabbit or guinea pig food. It can cause liver damage.
guinea pigs are always lover of green vegetables but water is really essential fr them
Guinea pigs are unique among other small mammals in their dietary requirements, since they require Vitamin C. Like humans, they are missing an enzyme that is necessary for the body to make Vitamin C. Therefore, they require supplemental Vitamin C in their diet.
Although guinea pig pellets have added Vitamin C, storage or exposure to light can rapidly destory it. Timothy hay and other grasses are poor sources of vitamn C. Therefore, we should not rely on the pellets or hay to provide the guinea pig with its Vitamin C requirements. We need to feed vegetables and some fruits. Vitamin C levels of foods commonly fed to guinea pigs are shown below:ExcellentVery GoodFairPoor*
In addition to fresh guinea pig pellets, timothy hay, and fresh fruits and vegetables, it is generally recommended to provide guinea pigs with a daily vitamin C supplement in case they are not receiving adequate amounts in their diet. Oral supplements in the form of flavored tablets for guinea pigs are available and are an excellent option. An adult guinea pig should receive 25 mg of Vitamin C daily (30-40 mg for a pregnant guinea pig). Use products for guinea pigs that only contain Vitamin C. Using a multiple vitamin product to provide sufficient Vitamin C may result in an overdose of the other vitamins. Vitamin C tablets may be fed directly or crushed and sprindled on moistened fruits or vegetables. Vitamin C liquids are also available that can be given directly (not in the water). There are vitamin C drops that can be added to the drinking water, but the vitamin C in the water breaks down rapidly and may change the taste of the water, resulting in the guinea pig not drinking sufficient amounts of water. These types of drops are not recommended
They have a very sensitive digestive system so good question.I recommend a pelleted diet over loose. Loose mixes may be nutritionally balanced, but only if the chinchilla eats all the components of the diet (and chinchillas are prone to picking out what they like from a mix).
Because it balances the rabbits diet.
Angora rabbits, like all pet rabbits, can eat apple as a treat. Assuming your rabbit is healthy and eating a balanced diet, a small bite or two of apple every few days shouldn't hurt her. See the related question below for more details and helpful links about the rabbit diet. (Angora rabbits largely eat the same diet as other pet rabbits, although they may benefit from a slightly different pellet feed.)
A diet is well the same as a human diet just a Little different. Don't give rabbits a lot of Grass and greenery cuss it will give them dierea and that is Reilly bad for rabbits! but if you have given that to a rabbit then give it a lot of hay!! it makes the diereea go away!! hopes this helps!!
No. Mostly, rabbits should eat hay, but pellets (dried rabbit food) are an important part of their diet, as well as fresh water and fresh leafy greens (like Romaine lettuce). Some rabbits are sensitive to pellets and too many pellets in their diet makes them sick. These rabbits should eat less pellets and more leafy greens. Some rabbits are so sensitive that their owners have slowly transitioned their rabbits to a no-pellets diet (just hay and fresh greens), but this can be very risky and time-consuming because good pellets (there are bad ones -- read labels!) are specially formulated to meet a rabbit's dietary needs (with all the necessary vitamins and nutrients). If you feed your rabbit a no-pellets diet, you probably need to feed some dietary supplements, too. Definitely, no one should consider this extreme diet without first doing a lot of research, finding someone who has successfully done this diet before who can offer advice, and talking to a few different knowledgeable "rabbit-savvy" vets first. If your rabbit is healthy on a normal diet of hay, pellets, and greens, don't even consider changing it: rabbits are very sensitive to diet changes and a change in diet can make them sick.
that is NOT true rabbits ARE easy to take care of and if you get them when they are young and hold them,play with them,they will LOVE to be held AND played with.Trust me on this I have three rabbits,to of which are young and LOVE to play.

Sure.
a chinchilla!
what is a north carlinas rabbits diet
rabbits are great pets, as well as chinchillas, both are easy to handle, but chinchillas are mainly wild animals, unlike rabbits; so rabbits may be more "safe"
I don't think there is.
I have a chinchilla breed and she stuck her head in the duct tape box that i made her and she had a problem!!! Yes!
Because it balances the rabbits diet.
Mostly mice,voles and rabbits
Angora's come in many different colours: Tan Smoke Blue White Golden Fawn Black Chinchilla
The chinchilla is a native of the Andes Mountains in South America. And you can find them in homes everywhere.
Anything from Mice to Rabbits. Females usually taking bigger prey such as rabbits.
