Cloud, the baby white chinchilla, gets picky during feeding time. He is caught throwing away pellets that don't meet his standard, and dropping half-eaten pellets on the ground so that he can get a new big pellet from the feeder.
@Haiinowai I bought Jumpy when he was a year old. He has had cateracts for a few years, the vet said they can't operate on it because the operation would probably kill him. He tends to bump into things so the only time he runs fast is in his solid metal wheel or up the stairs but he takes off when he gets to the top!
My Chinchilla J"umpy" goes through phases of disliking certain items of food, at the moment he wont eat the yellow corn in his mix but eats everything else. He has never been keen on chinchilla pelletts so sometimes I wont put anymore food out till he eats them otherwise he just eats the best bits.
Cloud looks like my Snowball <3
I have caught all my chins doing this at feeding time, picky little buggers aha!

Haha my two Chins do this also! They tease me by eating half a pellet and then they toss it right at me. It's too funny!

But he is 14 years old and stuck in his ways.
