In the wild, chinchillas eat a variety of things including plants, fruits, seeds and small insects. However if you have a chinchilla as a pet in your home, it is recommended that their diet remain hay-based pellets. Pellets are easier to digest and don't cause intestinal problems. Chinchillas eat and drink small amounts during the day, so owners must be careful to not overfeed.
