- SPECIES SPECIFIC. Chinchillas have specific nutritional needs. Essentials Chinchilla Food is formulated to meet the specific nutritional needs of chinchillas of all ages.
- MADE WITH PREBIOTICS & CHELATED MINERALS. Essentials Chinchilla Food is made with prebiotics to feed the good bacteria in your chinchilla's GI tract. Chelated minerals are a premium form of minerals which are more efficiently absorbed to support your chinchilla's daily health.
