Health / Are rose petals okay for chinchillas?
« on: December 06, 2012, 10:41:53 AM »
I have a 4 month old chinchilla, who found his way on top of my counter to the jackpot of dried rose petals that have been sitting in a large basket for months (I planned to make potpourri out of them, but never got around to it). He ate a little bit of one petal before I took it away from him. I'm sure the little bit he ate won't hurt him if it IS bad, but I was wondering if it actually is alright for them? I know you can feed them rose hips, but are rose petals safe?
Also, I know it's not best to feed chinchilla's under 5 months any treats, although I'm dying to teach my little Pippin some tricks! Would it be alright since he's almost that age?
Thanks!
