How Niblee™ Is Designed to Be Fed

Niblee™ is formulated as a primary, nutritionally complete pellet designed to be safely consumed throughout the day without the digestive risks associated with conventional pellet feeds.

Unlike high-starch or concentrate-heavy formulas that require strict portion control to avoid digestive upset, Niblee™ is formulated to support free-choice feeding without relying on restriction to maintain gut stability.

How Chinchillas Are Designed to Eat

Chinchillas are hindgut fermenters adapted to eat small amounts of structured, fiber-rich food continuously across the day.

Their digestive system depends on:

• steady fiber intake

• slow, controlled fermentation

• consistent chewing activity

• stable calcium and phosphorus balance

Feeds that rely on restriction to prevent digestive upset or mineral overload are compensating for formulation weaknesses. Niblee™ was engineered so restriction is unnecessary.

Role of Niblee™ in the Diet

Niblee™ pellets are designed to serve as the nutritional foundation of the diet, providing:

• structured fiber for gut motility and dental wear

• balanced protein and amino acids

• corrected calcium to phosphorus ratios

• targeted vitamins and trace minerals

• gut and immune support

Free-choice hay should always be available as the primary forage and chewing source. When paired with consistent hay access, Niblee™ pellets do not require restriction to protect digestion.

Free-Choice Feeding Approach

Niblee™ may be offered free-choice, allowing chinchillas to self-regulate intake naturally throughout the day. This approach aligns with how chinchillas are biologically designed to eat—small, steady amounts over time. Because the formula is fiber-forward, mineral-balanced, and free of ingredients that drive rapid fermentation or uneven digestion, Niblee™ can be fed without the common digestive risks that necessitate pellet restriction in other diets. When provided consistent access alongside hay, most chinchillas naturally regulate their intake without overconsumption.

Approximate Intake Observation

When fed free-choice alongside hay, most adult chinchillas naturally consume a modest, steady amount throughout the day. Typical self-regulated intake averages around two tablespoons (2 TBSP) per chinchilla per day. Individual intake will vary based on age, activity level, environment, and life stage.

LIFE STAGE CONSIDERATIONS

• Monitor body condition rather than chasing specific measurements

• Growing, breeding, or high-activity animals may consume more

• Seniors or less active animals may consume less

Clean, fresh water must always be available.

IMPORTANT FEEDING NOTES

• Under normal conditions, Niblee™ does not require pellet restriction when fed alongside hay.

• Avoid mixing with sugary treats or starch-heavy supplements

• Transition gradually over 7–10 days when changing diets

FINAL NOTE

Niblee™ was formulated so animals can eat naturally, freely, and consistently without digestive stress.

Feed freely. Feed confidently.
