A chinchilla has a very sensitive digestive system. Not only is too many treats a bad thing but changing brands of food too quickly can cause huge problems for them. If you are going to change foods, always mix in the new with some of the old bit by bit until they are used to it. This is to not shock their system. Never give a chinchilla any kind of rabbit or guinea pig food. It can cause liver damage.

Would it be possible to obtain a chinchilla rabbits if one parent is white and the other parent is Himalayan?

Yes, it is possible to obtain chinchilla-colored rabbits if one parent is white and the other is Himalayan. The offspring's color will depend on the specific genetics of the parents, including the genes for coat color and pattern. Chinchilla is a dilution of the agouti gene, while Himalayan is characterized by a temperature-sensitive color pattern. Thus, the offspring could potentially inherit a chinchilla coloration, along with other variations depending on their genetic makeup.
