Chinchilla Food In the wild, chinchillas live are naturally adapted to eating a diet of vegetation that is high in roughage. They are not designed for rich or fatty diets, and such diets can easily cause serious digestive upsets. I recommend feeding your chinchilla quality chinchilla pellets supplemented with plenty of fresh grass hay.oose mixes may be nutritionally balanced, but only if the chinchilla eats all the components of the diet (and chinchillas are prone to picking out what they like from a mix). Look for a pellet formulated specifically for chinchillas that is 16-20 percent protein, 2-5 percent fat and in the range 15-35 percent fiber 1.

- A variety of insects, worms, grubs, small reptiles, and eggs are eaten by wild skunks to get enough protein in their diets. Pet skunks don't walk around outside in the woods all day searching for food so other protein sources are usually offered.ome skunk owners like to offer dairy products (such as goat's milk or yogurt) to add calcium to their pet's diets but too much can cause diarrhea. Plus, plenty of other foods have more calcium in them then some dairy products do and you probably already have them included in the skunk food.

- Chipmunks may avoid your trap if it carries any trace of human scent, so wear gloves when handling and baiting your trap. Lure your chipmunk into the trap by creating a trail of bait leading to the trigger plate. Smear peanut butter onto the trigger plate to engage your chipmunk directly with the plate. After baiting your trap, make sure that there is no bait in the way of the trigger-and-close mechanism.
