So what kind of snacks do you guys feed your Chinchillas?
Mine really likes Alfalfa, peanuts and popcorn without the husks.
But I was just wondering what else you guys give yours so I could give mine a few extra treats!
Thanks!

Our guys get: the very rare bite of dried apple, a rare half of an organic raisin, half of a shredded wheat square, a small scoop (about a teaspoon each) of "old fashioned" oats, alfalfa and timothy hay cubes, or maybe a quick lick of apple juice off of my finger (though one does the "I'mma pee on you" dance when he smells fresh apples, don't ask me why).

Peanuts (and all nuts in general) are too high in fat and can cause fatty liver disease.
Corn causes gas/bloat. Bloat is bad in chins as it stops their gut action. I'd quit that now.
If you must treat, a shredded wheat cereal square with NO frosting. A mini or a 1/4 of a large one. Cherrios are ok. A different kind of hay to mix it up (timothy or bermuda).
