I wouldn't feed them the last one - it hasn't got much good stuff in there.
The first is a new product in zooplus so I don't think anyone has tried it, however, it's better than most things on sale in the UK at the moment.

Mine love the herb special and also the degu snack..they really like the birch leaves and flowers in the herb one and the sunflower petals in the other one. I was actually going to try and source some birch leaves because they all love them. It will be interesting to see what the new food is like, I use the 10KG bag of Farm feast off zooplus.com. The new food is also on Zooplus.com and should work out a bit cheaper.

Well, I'm glad to see Zooplus have some degu food back in stock. I agree with NTG that the general JRF small animal food is no good for degus, and I have reservations about the Degu Adult product, but it's still better than many other degu foods. I wouldn't like to feed only this, it's too high in corn and sugary veg and too much parsley (high in oxalic acid), and no mention of Calcium & phosphorus. Follow Saddlers tip and order plenty of the herb packs too, and maybe mix in some of the guinea pig grainless, and don't forget to add some fennel seeds and dandelion for extra calcium.

I have the degu feast, currently not on website but sure it will be back. To that I add various naturals boredom breakers salad stuff to increase the leaf content. Amazon do several large buckets with lids, great for mixing. Still have half of the bag of p@h nuggets............
