Bunnies aren't actually rodents. They're lagomorphs.

They are similar. I have three chinchillas and they are the best. They more like children, than animals.

Flower Power 2016 I’m an expert on chinchillas and they should not be fead raisins at all it can also cause liver damage. Also the small bunny should not be housed with the chinchilla.

Skomenekropolis yep totally agree

You can't keep them together for those reasons plus the dust bath. The rabbit will get dry cracked skin if it gets into that dust and such. (we were just researching this the other day for our own curiosity)

Jesse Lagrue lol you do know I don't really care right ??

she is actually right! every chinchilla owner should know that. and you are the dumb one here when she is completely right.

Brook Mize while true for most things, in the case of things with sugar like the rasins it’s okay for them to have one every once in a while but not often.

+Brenda Spencer Completely true. This person does not have a clue it seems.

Actually, i have a bunny and 🐰 i think you're wrong the opposite of the true answer bunny won't harm

+Melanie Salazar I'm a chinchilla breeder, sorry you're information isn't correct. You should look into it more, bunnies naturally carry parasites which could be deadly. please do your research...

STFU.

CookieCaitlyn Are you immature or just ignorant as poop

they are allowed to have raisins, just about one per day though.

Yep, but i only give my chin raisins about 1-3 times a week, but i give her more food-like treats so it's not so bad for her. EDIT: I heard raisins are bad for them if you give them too much, so i stopped and started giving her tiny dried apples and some oats.

I use oxbow simple rewards, my buddy gets 2 per week and I break each treat into little pieces so he can have a small piece each day.

not just that, it will kill them

marly moaoh Raisins are not toxic to chinchillas. Just because they are toxic to dogs and cats does not mean they are toxic to all animals. Many raisin brands are coated in sugar, but you can find raisins that are just dehydrated grapes. In excess they can cause diarrhea. If fed a lot of raisins for a long period of time the chinchilla will get fat, causing failure of internal organs from fat buildup. A raisin every other day, or even every day isn't bad. Some people have noted an immediate response to raisins that debilitated their chinchilla, which to me would indicate an allergy. If they were toxic to chinchillas, all chinchillas that eat raisins would immediately suffer symptoms, but that is not the case. To compare, nearly 100% of humans would suffer symptoms if bitten by a cobra, because the venom is toxic. Only a small percentage of people however have a symptomatic response to peanuts, peanuts are not toxic, but some people are allergic to them.

I didn't say toxic...I'm not telling anyone how to care for their chinchilla.I will however listen to my chinchillas' vet. So many different opinions online and not facts.

marly moaoh Many vets do not specialize in small animals, and chinchillas are a relatively new fad, maybe your vet is an exception. However, it still doesn't make you or your vet correct to say raisins can magically kill your chinchilla when they fed in moderation like any other treat, and when they are not toxic. If you can't explain by what means or mechanism something is bad or good for you, and there aren't large studies being conducted that show statistically significant increased mortality rates among chinchillas that consume any amount of raisins(even within dietary limits) then the opinion is worthless. Unless you have proof and an explanation that raisins are innately dangerous in any way other than contamination(mold, fungus, chemical, added sugar) or being fed in excess, it is not valid. The fact is, people's chinchillas are not rolling over dead by the thousands, even when fed too many of standard grocery store raisins. Much less organic no sugar added raisins, fed sparingly. Even healthier treats for chinchillas are suggested to be given similarly in extreme moderation.

You are a bully. I will not argue with you. This is the last comment I will post lol have fun.

This is exactly what I am worried about..

I have left dust in the cage for years and it did not lead to dry skin or scratching. They will however poop and pee in it, which is why most people don't leave the dust bath in the cage.

Wrong

You must have been misinformed. The dust bath should not be in the cage everyday I agree with that but chinchillas should only have a dust bath once a week. The fur can become too dry and if left in the cage everyday can cause respiratory infection. Only use 1/2 cup of dust bath. Too much dust is not good. Hoped this helped you.😁 If you have any questions feel free to ask.
