Why choose Beaphar Care+ Chinchilla?

Chinchillas can develop preferences with mixed diets. They like to pick the tastiest parts from the food bowl, while others are left behind. With all-in-one pellets, this is easier to prevent, because every pellet has the same composition. This way, your chinchilla receives the same basic nutrition with every bite.

The firm extruded kibble makes mealtime clear and calm. You can easily weigh out the daily portion and see more quickly if any food is left over. This is handy for owners who like to keep the menu organized and want to feed consciously.

Beaphar Care+ Chinchilla contains, among other things, FOS, MOS, yucca schidigera, spirulina, echinacea, and green tea extract. These ingredients complement the plant-based foundation and make the diet complete as a daily pellet feed alongside unlimited hay.

For which animals is this food suitable?

• Chinchilla: suitable as a complete pellet food for chinchillas. Feed the pellets as a weighed daily portion alongside unlimited hay, clean drinking water, and appropriate chinchilla enrichment.

This food is specially formulated for chinchillas. For guinea pigs, rabbits, and degus, it is preferable to choose food specifically formulated for those species, because their nutritional needs are different.

Feeding & use

Feed Beaphar Care+ Chinchilla as a complete pellet food alongside unlimited hay. Hay always remains the most important part of the chinchilla diet. Give the pellets as a weighed daily portion, preferably at fixed feeding times.

• Provide unlimited hay daily.
• Guideline: 20–30 grams per chinchilla per day.
• If necessary, divide the portion over two feeding times.
• Adjust the amount based on weight, condition, age, activity, and hay intake.
• Always introduce feed changes gradually by temporarily mixing old and new feed.
• Check appetite, droppings, weight, and leftovers in the bowl regularly.
• Store the food in a dry, cool, and tightly sealed place.

A good daily routine is clear: unlimited hay as a base, a measured portion of pellets, and, where appropriate, safe herbs, leaves, or gnawing material for extra variety. This keeps feeding clear and allows you to easily monitor whether your chinchilla is eating neatly.

Daily portion guideline

The recommended amount is 20–30 grams per chinchilla per day. Use the guideline as a practical starting point and then closely monitor condition, activity, hay intake, and how much is left over.

This guideline is intended as a practical starting point. An active chinchilla may have different needs than a quiet animal. Therefore, always observe body condition, appetite, and how much is left in the food bowl.

Compound

Vegetable by-products, yucca schidigera 0.1%, echinacea 0.03%, green tea extract 0.01%, FOS 0.01%, cereals, vegetables, minerals, seeds, yeast, MOS 0.1%, algae, spirulina 0.01%.

This composition is designed as a complete all-in-one pellet food for chinchillas. The plant-based foundation, grains, vegetables, seeds, and minerals provide clear daily nutrition, while FOS and MOS support the gut flora. Yucca schidigera is often used for its role in controlling fecal odor. Echinacea, green tea extract, yeast, algae, and spirulina enrich the composition and help make the pellet food complete as an easily dosable base alongside unlimited hay.

Analysis

Crude protein 20%, crude fiber 18%, crude fat 2.8%, crude ash 5%, calcium 0.75%, potassium 0.82%, phosphorus 0.55%, sulfur 0.03%, sodium 0.19%, omega 3 0.07%, magnesium 0.16%, omega 6 0.69%, energy value 2500 kcal/kg.

This analysis is consistent with a complete all-in-one chinchilla food with a fiber-conscious composition. The 18% crude fiber aligns with the role of pellets as a daily portion alongside unlimited hay. The fat content of 2.8% has been kept moderate, and the presence of omega-3 and omega-6 further complements the daily composition. Hay remains the primary fiber source; the pellets additionally provide a complete and easily dosable base.

Switching to Beaphar Care+ Chinchilla

Switch gradually when changing food. Mix the new food with the old food for the first few days and gradually increase the proportion of Beaphar Care+ Chinchilla. This allows your chinchilla to get used to the smell, taste, and pellet texture.

• Day 1–2: mix a small amount of new food with the old food.
• Days 3–5: feed approximately half old, half new.
• Days 6–7: mainly new food with a small amount of old food remaining.
• Then switch completely when your chinchilla continues to eat well and has normal droppings.

During the transition, pay close attention to appetite, hay intake, activity, and droppings. If you notice clear changes, build up more slowly or seek advice from a veterinarian specializing in chinchillas.

Good to know

Beaphar Care+ Chinchilla is a complete pet food, but that does not mean that pellets need to make up the entire daily menu. For chinchillas, unlimited hay remains the foundation. In addition, a good sand bath, safe gnawing material, and quiet, appropriate enrichment are part of daily care.

• A sand bath is part of chinchilla care. Please also check out our bath sand for this.
• Store the food in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place for optimal freshness.
• Regularly check appetite, droppings, and leftovers in the food bowl.
