What type of hay does a Chinchilla eat?
Chinchillas can be offered a variety of hay.

The most common hay is Timothy hay. Timothy hay comes in 3 cuts. It should be green.

• First cut, which is very coarse stemmed and has a lot of heads. This cut is full of fiber!

• Second cut, Which is a mix of softer and firm, leafy hay ( most popular & common )

• Third cut, is very soft and leafy and best for picky eaters.

There is also Alfalfa Hay which is sweeter and rich in nutrients. It's best for young / growing animals, or for malnourished animals. It can be offered occasionally to adults as a treat, but should not be their staple hay. It is bright green and fresh smelling.

Orchard Grass is a high fiber, leafy hay. Sometimes a mix of Timothy, Garrison, and Alfalfa. It's a good alternative to Timothy. Green and bright in color.

Oat Hay is a hard, stem filled hay that is tough and yellow/pale in color. It comes with Oat heads, so should be fed sparingly.

Blue Grass Hay is another leafy hay option.

Botanical Hay is generally Timothy hay with herbs mixed in.

** Please avoid purchasing and serving any hays that are sold mixed with fruits or vegetables. **
