Hello everybody:)
My name is Dariya, I'm from Ukraine (so, sorry for my English in advance:)). There are many chinchilla owners and breeders in Ukraine and Russia, but our chinchilla market is rather thin, and it's rather difficult to choose the food of high quality. Recently, some people began supplying Danish food (Nordjysk Andels company, or NAG). We were sure that it is very good food, but when I found their web-site, I had not found any information about chinchillas and rodents in general.
So, I'm curious - whether in your country you know something about this food. Do you feed your chinchillas by farm food?
Thank you in advance:)

most people in the UK feed pellets that are milled bu either Charnwood Milling company or by Paul Spooner (Duggins pellets - based on a recipe a fur farmer brought over from Canada)

I havent heard of the pellet you mentioned personally but we dont tend to get many imported pellets here as the costs are to high.

i use this:
http://www.seapets.c...-food-350g.html

it was recommended by the pet store i bought my chin from as it stops them selectively eating their food (basically picking out all the good bits and leaving the ones they need nutritionaly)
