As her pregnancy advances, you may wish to offer her some seeds, degu seed mix from Ratrations or hansemanns are great, along with her regular diet and lots of high quality forage.
Her appetite will naturally increase as well, but bear in mind that gestation is 90 days and you will need to pup proof the cage. Degu pups are born fully active, very curious but with virtually no common sense, lol.
Our pregnancy and baby care section should have most of the answershttp://deguworld.proboards.com/board/8/pregnancy-baby-care but if you can't find what you need, please ask and we'll help.

I'd definitely double check the sexes of your new gang so you don't end up with more knocked up goos! Xx |

Chipshuman . . . can you give us the ingredients list for the nuggets and the degu treat? Is Chip male? What does the oldest female look like in terms of body shape . . . when they are just about ready to deliver, they typically look like a brown furry tennis ball with a small head, legs and tail.
