Degu main food
Everything you need for degu food in the Rodent Food Shop
Degus are active, social and nutritionally sensitive rodents that require a carefully balanced diet. High-quality degu food forms the daily basis for a balanced diet and should be tailored to the specific needs of degus. In the Zoo Roco Rodent Shop, you’ll find suitable degu food as well as supplementary herbs, hay and natural nibbles for species-appropriate care.
Degu food for a natural diet
Good degu food is based on the natural diet of these lively rodents. Degus mainly eat plant parts rich in raw fibre, such as grasses, herbs, leaves and flowers. That is why high-quality degu food should be as texturally varied as possible and avoid unnecessarily high-sugar ingredients.
Why fibre-rich food is important
Ingredients rich in crude fibre support natural digestion and encourage slow, species-appropriate food intake. At the same time, they help keep your degus occupied, as they enjoy exploring, sorting and consuming their food throughout the day. Hay should also always be freely available to complement their daily diet.
Low-sugar composition for degus
Degus are sensitive to an unbalanced diet. That is why it is particularly important to look for low-sugar recipes when choosing degu food. Very sweet ingredients, fruit or too many starchy components are less suitable for degus. Better options are mixes containing herbs, flowers, vegetable ingredients and suitable seeds in balanced quantities.
Degu food with herbs, leaves and flowers
Many high-quality food mixes for degus contain a combination of herbs, leaves, flowers, grasses and selected seeds. These ingredients provide variety in the food bowl and support natural feeding behaviour. In addition, suitable herb mixes, dried flowers or wooden chew sticks can be offered to provide the animals with extra stimulation.
Supplementing degu food correctly
Although degu food forms the basis of their diet, degus benefit from a varied diet. Fresh water, high-quality hay, suitable herbs and natural nibbling materials are all part of a varied diet. Treats should be used sparingly and with care, so that the daily food remains the focus.
What to look out for when buying degu food from Söll
When buying degu food, it is worth looking for a natural composition, a high crude fibre content and a recipe that is as low in sugar as possible. The food texture should be varied so that degus can express their natural foraging and nibbling behaviour. Good degu food supports their daily nutritional needs and is ideal for species-appropriate care that includes plenty of exercise, enrichment and social interaction.
