Is it normal for Goos to eat sand? Not sure if all of mine are but one of them certainly is - not sure what quantity though.
any thoughts appreciated

Is it normal for a human to drink water  I guess it isn't the same but it's pretty normal, I hear this a lot. Not much you can do about it if that's what your degu wants to do. does it bathe? or just sit and eat? |

As babies, the babes all liked to eat the sand rather than bathe in it...they just didn't know what to do with it...they're still alive, so don't worry. If yours don't bathe in it, give them time and they will switch from eating it to rolling around in it like a degu possessed.

Hi thanks for the replies. They bathe in it too. they've got 3 bowls of sand .... one for bathing (deep) and the other 2 are for their wee's, so not very deep - its just a toilet As long as its normal, thats normal  |
