Feed your chinchilla 2 to 3 tbsp of Sunburst per day depending on the age of your pet. Complement this feeding with unlimited amounts of hay. Always regulate the food portion to maintain your pet’s weight. A pregnant or lactating female will sometimes eat 2 to 3 times as much as a normal adult. Remove and discard uneaten food everyday and clean the bowl prior to refilling it. Always maintain fresh drinking water near your pet’s food container.
While introducing a new food to your pet friend, gradually mix new food with your pet’s old diet. Increase the amount of food over a period of 7 to 10 days. This will allow your pet to adjust to the new food and it will prevent any upset to your pet’s digestive system.

My hamster (pluto) is a piglet for sure. I first started him with this brand and than my mom got me some other brand and he leaves some parts he doesn’t like of the other brand every time (that’s how I know to refill) with sunburst he eats everything. He loves the sunflower seeds and especially the cashews!!
This product is not good for your small pets!! They cannot have a food where there are small pieces of dried fruit and seeds!!! Please research before giving anything to your pet!! Just because a pet store says something is ok to give to your pet, doesn’t mean that it is!! It’s highly unhealthy and dangerous for your small pets!! Please please please research before giving anything to them!!
I've tried so many different brands of chinchilla pellets and this by far is their favorite. They're usually really picky with the type of pellets they eat but with these they eat everything and having an empty bowl is a pet owner's dream.
