Favorite Homemade Supplements
« on: December 16, 2012, 09:42:12 AM »

My favorite is a mixture of  oats, wheat bran, and clovite.

I mix the oats and the wheat bran together and then 7 parts that mixture to one part Clovite. 

Chinchillas get  1/2 teaspoon a few times a week.

All of these ingredients come from the local farm feed store.

Clovite is a vitamin powder that contains:
Soybean meal, Soy flour, Vitamin A & D oil, Dicalcium phosphate, Vitamin B12 supplement, Vitamin A & D3 supplement, Choline chloride, Vitamin E supplement, Calcium pantothenate, Niacin, Pyridoxine hydrochloride, Thiamine hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Biotin.

This post was from Jo Ann the board and I have copied it from another thread:

Supplement:

1/2 cup raw wheat germ (Health Food Store)
1/2 cup whole oat grain, not oatmeal (natural - country store or co-op)
1/2 cup cracked oat grain, not oatmeal (natural - country store or co-op)
1/2 cup whole wheat grain (natural - country store or co-op)
1/2 cup clovite (country store or co-op)
4 acidophilus capsules, refrigerate after opening bottle (open and ad to above mix)
4 teaspoons green papaya enzyme

Mix first 5 ingredients thoroughly, refrigerate.  Once it is nice and cool, add contents of acidophilus capsules and papaya enzyme.
Store in airtight container (preferably glass) and keep refrigerated.

If a chin is underweight or sick, I always change his hay to all alfalfa.

Each chinchilla gets 1/2 teaspoon per day, per chin
