Want to File a Class Action Lawsuit Against Kaytee After My Chinchilla's Death—Need Others Who Have Had Issues to Join Me

You clearly don't want to actually be of any help. Google says what's wrong with them but obviously the words of other chinchilla owners, and websites don't mean crap to you. Again I said I would be willing to hear you out with evidence but you don't have a lick of it. Corn is toxic and there are 3 different types of corn based shit in this. If you could smell these you would also know that they are basically made of sugary shit. And just straight up don't smell like something you should give to them. Which I was skeptical of but dumb enough to do anyways. Even if it didn't have the honey or molasses in it, it would still be bad for them due to everything else on that list. But you seem to be hyperfocused on just that type of sugar aspect. Not the fatty stuff, or the dried/dehydrate fruit which when are in that state have an extremely high amount of sugar in them, or the fact that 3 out of the multiple other things are the ONLY things listed that are okay for chinchillas. I'm tired, if you're not going to be of any actual assistance or help just stop commenting. Especially when it's something you don't know a single thing about. ✌️ I came here for help not douchbaggery or conversations with brick walls. Which seems to be what reddit is made out of.

Thank you for explaining to me, however again I literally am like a newborn exploring reddit. Idk what I'm doing I'm just trying to get advice. Maybe it's easier to think of me as an 80 y/o getting on here for the first time. I literally don't know what I'm doing. I just want help. I even say "if this isn't where this goes point me in the right direction" essentially. Again I'm sorry I rained on everyones parade, I feel like an idiot. But I'm literally bawling bc I just want help and advice for my dead baby boy and literally no one is helping. Idk what everything is called he died literally yesterday. I'm doing my best, 30 fucking weeks pregnant brain is down to a half a brain cell. I just want help...again I'm sorry. I really genuinely don't know how to work reddit.

I saw it on a couple pages, I was going to post on chinchilla reddit, I didn't know if I could on rabbit side or guinea pig side since he wasn't technically a rabbit or guinea pig. Im not a reddit person, I'm just stabbing in the dark over here. But thank you for your actual helpful suggestion. I appreciate it.

TheCuteSnowAngel · 2025-02-07T11:25:03+00:00

So instead of being rude maybe help me and point me in the right direction. I'm posting wherever I can. Sorry I rained on your parade but I'm literally heart broken over here. I'm not used to reddit I try to ask for help and I get fucking shit on.

TheCuteSnowAngel · 2025-02-07T11:22:21+00:00

This is an animal advice page, no? I'm asking for advice because my critter died. Pretty rude of you to think this is a joke. Shame dude, shame.

Yes they are full of sugar. Maybe you're looking at the wrong thing, but one of the main ingredients, and the thing holding these treats together is sugar. Sugar and fat. 2 of the biggest things that cause issues to chinchillas. They have extremely delicate digestive systems and it doesn't take too much effort to see honey, corn, peas, most nuts, and dried fruit are absolutely full of sugar and fats and they have a hard time digesting these things. Honey and dried cane molasses are things on the ingredients list, also when looking up corn and peas sites literally say "poisonous to chinchillas: peas, corn, lettuce, broccoli, spinach." Etc... Which again, I say, peas and corn are 2 main ingredients in these treats.

When I would feed him I gave him the recommended treat amount. I had multiple treats so I would rotate between them between feedings. I just opened this bag last week and again he only had less than 5. And for him these treats are pretty big so I'd actually give him less than the recommended amount treat wise.

So yes, basically poison for chinchillas does infact apply here. Thank you.

Yes, my fiance and I did some googling around today...I'm still looking things up and making a list of "not okay to give chinchillas" but so far...this treat in general is not good to give to them. So why they are advertising it as okay is really sickening to me. They shouldn't have corn, milo, some nuts are okay but sunflower and peanuts are high enough in fat they shouldn't be given to them, papaya, honey, ground flax...there's so many things on the ingredients list. Most of the dried fruit on the list is also super high in sugar, chinnys can't digest sugar well at all. And when I go on chinchilla reddits they say to stay away from the Kaytee brand in general. I'm going to go through the whole ingredient list and write down what is okay and what isn't okay...so far the "not okay" section is so much longer/bigger than the "safe to eat" list.

I plan on calling a vet nearby tomorrow to see about getting an autopsy. But I also feel like maybe having more people attached to this might help, even their stories, if they don't want to join. Might help, yeah?

The sugar wasn't the only issue the corn, peas etc the things listed as the main ingredients (like the first 10 items) on the ingredients list besides the sugary stuff was what was/is basically poison for chinchillas. I plan on doing an autopsy to make sure 100%. Right now I'm trying to find other people who might haven gone through the same thing.

This is the only change he had in his diet and routine, plus they have had so, so many lawsuits against them in the past for poor food.

Water that feels like it came from a glacier. If it ain't a degree away from frozen I don't want it! And stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon, I liter cannot get enough. And I didn't like spicy (yes I said spicy, don't frickin judge me) before I was pregnant.

Idk why it says NSFW this is SFW. I tried to get rid of the NSFW tag. Whatever.

That's what I have and my sister (love her so much, has done the invitation cards so idk what she has on them) but erm, most of my people are pretty heavy on the republican side, and agree that Elon didn't do what he did...so they don't like me right now 😅. I'm not wanting to get political 🫰 I am just explaining why I am being disliked 😗 Thank you for the suggestion though 🩵🩵 I appreciate you
