This has been discussed in this section before, but I thought I'd make it a sticky and start a new thread, to spread some useful information. Here are the CHINCHILLA PELLETS available in Singapore now.
1. Alice Kline pellets (sold in Little Pets Wonder)
Most expensive brand, supposed to be really good. I haven't tried yet, so can't judge by myself.
2. Mazuri (sold in Little Pets Wonder, Pet's Creations, Happy Paws)
One of the good brands of chinchilla pellets available. Many chin owners in Sg are feeding this brand. Chinchillas find it very palatable.
3. Oxbow Chinchilla Deluxe
Another brand that is alright. I used to feed this. Didn't face any problems with it. But once I switched to Mazuri, my chins eagerly ate that instead of the old Oxbow that I had mixed into their food.
4. APD Timmy Chin (sold in Happi Critters)
Supposed to be a good brand, but I dunno many ppl using this, and I myself have not tried it.
Note that the above 4 are all pure pellets. That means they don't contain nuts, seeds, corns or bits of hay. They are not a "food mix", but strictly pellets. Many experts advise that this is better for chinchillas. I think the same applies for rabbits and guinea pigs. Pellets are more healthy than "food mixes".
