Why choose ChinchillaDroom Basic?

Chinchillas benefit from a fiber-rich diet with plenty of texture. ChinchillaDroom Basic is based on meadow plants, herbs, and various fiber lengths. As a result, your chinchilla not only receives nutrients, but mealtime also becomes a quiet nibbling moment.

The 3-fiber mix is an important component in this regard. Thanks to fibers of varying lengths, the structure remains varied, encouraging your chinchilla to spend more time eating. This suits animals that naturally spend a lot of time nibbling, chewing, and searching.

Ingredients such as Jerusalem artichoke, amaranth, maca, brewer's yeast, flaxseed, peppermint, marigold, chamomile, and fennel seed provide extra variety within the diet. This makes ChinchillaDroom Basic a great daily foundation for owners who want to feed naturally, fiber-rich, and simply.

For which animals is this food suitable?

• Chinchilla: suitable as a complete daily chinchilla food. Use alongside unlimited hay, clean drinking water, and appropriate chinchilla extras within a calm feeding structure.

This food is specifically intended for chinchillas. For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, dwarf rats, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and degus, it is preferable to choose a food formulated for those species, as the nutritional needs and portion sizes are different.

Feeding & use

Bunny Nature ChinchillaDroom Basic can be offered as a daily staple food. A practical way of feeding is: fill the bowl, let your chinchillas eat it completely empty, and only refill it afterwards. This way, you keep track of what is being eaten and prevent new food from constantly being placed on top of old leftovers.

You can also scatter a small portion of the food on a clean, dry spot in the enclosure. This stimulates natural foraging behavior and immediately turns the mealtime into a foraging moment.

• Provide unlimited good quality hay daily.
• Always ensure clean drinking water.
• Only refill the food bowl when it is completely empty.
• Optionally, use a small portion as scatter feed for extra foraging fun.
• Switch gradually when changing feed.
• Store the food in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place.
• A suitable sand bath is part of the daily care of chinchillas.

Switch to ChinchillaDroom Basic

Switch gradually when changing food. Mix the new food with the old food for the first few days and gradually increase the proportion of ChinchillaDroom Basic. This allows your chinchillas to get used to the new scent, taste, and 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 chinchillas continue to eat well and the droppings remain normal.
