I found these on the PetSmart website ( www.petsmart.com ). "All Living Things Dried Veggie Medley Snacks" -- which is dried carrots, dried sweet potatoes, dried green peas, dried tomatoes, dried green beens, dried zucchini, dried bell peppers, rose petals. A 3 oz. bag was $2.99. The stuff looks and smells good, the pieces are small, and my goos ate it right up, when they won't touch most of what I try to give them! Comes in a plastic pouch with resealable ziploc thingy. "All Living Things Peas 'N' Carrots Topping" -- which is dehydrated carrots, pea flakes, green split peas. And that's exactly and only what it is, dried slices of carrots, split peas, and "pea flakes" are peas squished flat and dried. A 2 oz. bag was $1.99. And both say right on it, intended as a treat or a supplement, not as a main food. Strikes me as darned responsible of them, indicating you should not use only this for your pets, no matter how much they like it. And no preservatives or additives! An easy and easily available way to get some natural veggies for degus. I also see that below the title on the package, it has the name printed in french, so I would guess these are available in Canada, also?

Hey! I just went to look up other sources to buy the above dried veggies, and whaddya know--there are companies that sell JUST dried veggies (and dried fruit, etc.). They also seem to list nutritional info, dry-to-fresh ratios, and all kinds of good info. Here's a few listings that look good (note, I have NOT ordered from them yet, just looking at websites.) Many more websites come up if you search for "dried vegetables" or "dried veggies". North Bay Trading Company ( http://www.northbaytrading.com) Shipping $7 flat rate standard, will ship to Canada & overseas, but have to call for rates/details/arrangements. Small (2.5-3 cup) to large packages available. Harmony House Foods ( http://www.harmonyhousefoods.com) Ship worldwide, rates depend on how much you order & where it's going. Package sizes range from 1 cup to enough to feed a village. Mother Earth Products ( www.motherearthproducts.com ) $7 shipping. USA only right now, the website says. Small and larger packages.

Hi Winic, I added the details of the veg mixes to the bought herb mix chart thread and also found some seagrass strips. I also started a thread for Specialist Degu food Suppliers and copied over the suppliers you found.
