Great list, thanks! So all are safe for them? Are there any that too much in excess is bad? Maybe Ill order a few when I have some extra cash...4oz doesn't sound like a lot though

Everything I listed is safe, I've been through it all carefully and run it past Davx. Some things should be fed in moderation, like horsetail, clover, parsley and some of the stronger medicinal and culinary herbs.

You can buy in bigger quantities, and they get quite a lot cheaper then too

If you have a look at this thread there are some pics of bags of herbs with the pack weight shown, it should give you an idea about quantities (the paper shown for scale is A4) deguworld.proboards.com/thread/15657/bought-herb-leaf-flower-mixes

Horsetails can also be fed in bigger amounts. It is a good remedy for degus with dental problems (as it contains silicates and thus has an abrasive effect). Maybe healthy degus won't feed it in bigger amounts, but that can be tested by observing how much they eat from this herb. I fed it usually fresh, only occasionally because it grows in bigger quantities in spring and then from time to time it grows like a weed in our garden with pauses during the rest of the time.
