Can chinchillas have bamboo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is safe to give your chinchilla bamboo to chew on.


It is recommended that you make sure your chinchilla has plenty of wooden items (sticks, toys, etc) to chew on, because their teeth will continue to grow all through their life. If they grow too big, the chinchilla will have difficulty feeding or the teeth may penetrate the chinchilla's lips and cause pain. If this happens, a vet needs to cut their teeth with a tool similar to wire cutters, which is notpleasantfor yourchinchilla.



Safe woods for chinchillas are:

  • apple
  • arbutus
  • ash
  • aspen

  • manzanita
  • mulberry
  • pear
  • pecan
  • pine - kiln-dried white
  • poplar
  • quince
  • rose hip
  • sycamore
  • willow (but not white willow)

  • apricot
  • beech
  • birch
  • black locust
  • black lotus
