Weights of chinchillas can vary. Using the energy density of the product the quantity of food required to fulfil the chinchilla’s daily energy requirements (based on body weight and life stage) may be calculated. These are shown in the table below. Chinchillas have different levels of activity, and so the quantity fed should be adjusted to maintain body weight (weekly weighing is recommended to monitor the chinchilla’s weight). Divide the daily amount into two, feed one portion in the morning and one in the evening. It is important to ensure that all the ingredients in CHARLIE CHINCHILLA are eaten so that the correct quantity and balance of nutrients are absorbed. If some ingredients are left, reduce the daily quantity of food until everything is eaten.
