Hungry Chinchilla Gleefully Gobbles Up the Meaty Almond He Holds In His Hand

A hungry, fuzzy chinchilla named Mittenmaus gleefully gobbles up the meaty almond that he’s holding in his hand. According to his human Lisa Yang, the almond was a special treat.

Roundest cutest perspective! PLEASE NOTE: I do NOT endorse over-treating chins, nor do I endorse over-treating chins with nuts especially, as they are high in fat and can cause health problems down the road. I do, however, allow them treats on occasion – sparingly, and with careful monitoring.

Lisa prefers instead to provide her chinchillas with shredded wheat and dried apple slices, both much healthier snacks.
