We gotscience selection there like nuggets.
But we seen other stuff that look good it was a kind of forageing stuff made with Timothy hay. So I might get that aswell and sprinkle it about the place.
I've read the feeding guides aswell.
Just want the best for my doos.
I'm in the UK btw

Forage should be 95% of their diet, with pellets making up the remains 5%, hay should be freely available as they use it for bedding as well as eating. If you take a look at the feeding guide, it's possible to make your own forage mixes as they have a wide variety of herbs, flowers, seeds and plants. If you decide to make your own www.ratrations.com offer a great selection for degus, www.hansmann-team.de also do some fabulous ready mixed forage. If you decide to make your own, please do not feed flowers from a florist as they are full of artificial chemicals. There are other suppliers, but ratrations and hansmann are the two I use.

That's not a great feed, there's too much grain in it, and I mean whole ears of wheat. I tried it once and mine wouldn't touch it, I think the rest of the bag went out for the birds. It looks like floor sweepings.

I got them a woodland mix out of pets at home. Seems decent enough

Mine get versele laga crispy chinchilla and degus and small amounts of JR Farm grainless guinea pig alongside half a teaspoon of oil seeds but the vast majority of their diet is herbs and hay.

Mine are on 100% natural diet - no pellets. I give them Hansemanns forage, my own seed mix, and occasional fresh.
