Vegetables ?¿

[aday3686]

Hello, I'm eager to feed my girls with more vegetables. Can somebody make me any suggestion of what kind and amount I can give to my little girls?

Thanks deguconvert, but I mean vegetables that I can buy in a shoppingcentre. For me is extremely difficult to find those plants and herbs here.

You can feed your girls many vegetables and usually the only limiting factor would be the sugar content, in particular if they only eat dried vegetables. So far, between several of our members here, we have dried and fed beetroot, carrot, celery, courgette, marrow, squash, tomato (see also these threads: deguworld.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=blogs&action=display&thread=8908 and deguworld.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=food&action=display&thread=8775 ). You also can get a lot of kitchen herbs in your supermarket, which can be fed fresh or dried. These include basil, chives, coriander, dill, mint, parsley, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, water cress. Of these you can give larger amounts, but as always when introducing a new food to your degus, you should start with smaller amount to get them used to it. I hope this helps; if you have any particular vegetable or herb in mind, just ask.

The only fresh vegetable I can guarantee my goos will eat is brocolli which they seem to really enjoy.

I have tried a lot of fresh veggies out there, alot with no success.
I find mine prefer veggies and herbs dried. So far I managed to get them to eat water cress fresh but that took about a week for them to even realise it was food lol!
