What do baby chinchillas eat?

Baby chinchillas, or kits, primarily rely on their mother's milk for nutrition during the first few weeks of life. Once they are about 6-8 weeks old, they can start to transition to solid food. A proper diet for young chinchillas includes high-quality hay, specially formulated chinchilla pellets, and occasional treats like dried fruits or vegetables in moderation. It's crucial to provide fresh water at all times to support their hydration and health.
