Yes, chinchillas can eat vegetables as part of a balanced diet. However, it’s important to feed them a variety of vegetables in small amounts, as too much of any one type of vegetable can upset their digestive system. Some good options for chinchillas include

leafy greens such as :

kale, spinach, and lettuce

Root vegetables like:

carrots and bell peppers.

It’s also important to note that not all vegetables are safe for chinchillas, for example, vegetables that are high in oxalates such as beet greens, spinach, chard and broccoli should be avoided. And also vegetables like corn, peas, and beans are also not suitable. It’s best to consult with a veterinarian or a specialist in chinchilla nutrition before making any major changes to your chinchilla’s diet.
