I find it hard to believe that a chinchilla would even touch a cherry... mine wont eat anything containing more moisture than a raisin or dried cranberry. and i know that is true for most chinchillas.
i think cherry season depends on how long your pesticide spray lasts as well. here in kelowna, my grandparents have 4 huge cherry trees in their yard. the spray they get only lasts 2 weeks before you are not protected against worms anymore... damn they were good though. so huge! my hands and arms and shoes were dyed red from picking. i cant wait till peach season though. thats my favorite. peaches cut up in a bowl of cream and sugar! yum!
well at least kelowna is good for something.
