The Brisky Chinchilla Salad™ ia a "grow your own" wheatgrass kit
that provides a safe, healthy and tasty treat when given
in moderation. About 90% of our chins like the wheatgrass
and most are nuts about it. It's a good alternative to
treats that contain sugar like raisins, papaya, and dried
fruits.
The kit contains the wheatgrass seeds and a disk of growing
medium that is made from coconut. You simply add warm
water and the disk expands to fill the cup. It takes about
2 days to get roots and sprouts and you'll have ready to
eat grass in about 4 to 5 days. It's amazingly fast and
amazingly fun to grow fresh wheatgrass for your chins!
You can trim off and feed the grass when it's about 3"
to 4" and it will cotinue to grow for another couple of
"harvests". Although the instuctions say it's OK to free
feed the wheatgrass, we don't recommend that you do. Too
much fresh greens can be very hard on a chin's digestive system.
We would strongly suggest that you trim off a bit off
grass and feed only a few strands at a time. Handfeeding
Chinchilla Salad™ provides a great opportunity to bond
with your chins!
