Oxbow Essentials Chinchilla Food
Oxbow Essentials is a timothy-based, high-fiber pellet formulated specifically for adult chinchillas and is widely recommended by veterinarians for maintenance feeding; its focus on high fiber and limited protein helps prevent digestive and dental issues common in chinchillas. Compared with the other products on this list it offers a strong balance of price and proven, species-specific formulation — typically less calorie-dense than Mazuri and more tailored to chinchillas than general small‑animal pellets such as Martin Little Friends.
