FAQs
Is this feed suitable for all ages of degus?
Yes, it is formulated to be a complete diet suitable for adult degus.
How much should I feed my degu daily?
Generally, a degu should receive about 20-25 grams of food per day, but adjust based on your pet's activity level and body condition.
Does this food contain sugar?
It contains natural sugars from dried apple and carrot. Always monitor intake to ensure your degu maintains a healthy weight.
Should I provide hay alongside this food?
Yes, unlimited access to high-quality Timothy hay is essential for dental and digestive health, acting as a vital supplement to this feed.
How long will a 400g bag last?
Depending on the size and number of degus, a 400g bag typically lasts about 2-3 weeks for a single pet.
Troubleshooting
Degu is picking out only favorite bits
Ensure the bowl is empty before refilling to encourage the consumption of all components, or reduce the amount provided until the pet eats the full mixture.
Degu seems disinterested in the new food
Mix the new feed with the previous brand in increasing ratios over one week to allow the pet to adjust to the new scent and texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your degu receives the best care, store the 400g package in a cool, dry, and dark location to preserve the freshness of the natural ingredients. Always ensure that the degu has constant access to fresh, clean water. Supplement this feed with high-quality hay, as fiber remains a critical component of a degu's diet alongside this complete feed. Keep the feeding bowl clean and remove any uneaten portions if they become soiled or damp to prevent bacterial growth.
