I have Celiacs Disease and recently discovered that I am reacting to all the food dust in the air from the pellets I feed my chins. Ive fed them the same brand for years (Nutrina) and they do well on it. They also get Timothy Hay and occasional oats or rosebuds. Im going to stop with the oats since they are typically heavily cross contaminated with wheat.
Can anyone give me recommendations for what to switch my chinchillas over to? I was searching through old posts and saw one person write that you can find 100% Timothy hay pellets and then feed some alfalfa hay? Ive never seen that in stores or online, however, so dont know where to look. I would transition slowly of course but I dont want their food quality to go down. In the meantime I can wear a mask around them, but its impacting my health enough that I cant really interact with them without wearing the mask. This whole thing is making being a chinchilla owner not very fun/rewarding at the moment, and I want to fix it!
