This guy is incorrect. Do NOT feed your chinchillas raisins or any other type of fruit, raw, cooked, or dried! Fruits are packed with sugar, which is not good for chinchillas. It can cause heart attack, obesity, and much more. Please don’t make that misteak. A safer alternative is Rosehips, which can be bought online from specialty stores. I have known many people who lost or shortened their chins lives by feeding them raisins and other fruits.

That is very bad for them… sunflower seeds are full of fat anf usually have salt, which can cause seizures and many other health issues. Make sure your chin doesn’t get ahold of them.
