Rosehips & Rose Petals

[Boz]

Degus can have rosehips and petals, right?

How much do your degus like them? I was thinking of getting some as treats but I'd hate to get a bunch and they really don't like them! And they are not cheap!

Thanks!

Degus absolutely love rose petals. Mine would go doolaly over them, both fresh and dried. They also really like rosehips and they are a good source of vitamin C. The only thing to be careful with rosehips is that they have a slightly high sugar content so best to give them once a week (or less, depending on what other 'sugary' treas you are giving your goos). So at least your bag will last.
