dandelion leaves and the yellow head are fine (i saw a video and a degu was eating one) and I've read somewhere too. Not sure about daisies or flowers. Sorry.

they can eat some, but not others, you need to check for each species. There is a really big list of safe and unsafe foods here, but it's in german, but the species are latin so the same everywhere and easy to look up, or you can run it through a translator degu.re4.ch/ratgeber/ernaehrung_pflanzenliste.htmlI don't think cherry blossom is safe as the rest of the tree is unsafe.

Look here, deguworld.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=food&action=display&thread=5408 there is a lot of information here, and lists of many different treats and edibles that are degu safe. There is one in particular that includes flowers, herbs and grasses that are safe. It won't be hard to find it, as it is still on the first page and just scrolling down fairly quickly will help you find it in no time.
