rolled oats.....

[khay]

How many are okay to give degus? I took a small handful today and my boys LOVE them.

I ended up scattering a few around the bedding for them to forage for because they were being quite vocal and jealous, lol, over the one hand that was holding them

Not enough room for 5 degs around one hand as far as they're concerned.......

Would it be harmful to give a generous amount?

Hard to know how much is too much. I've given my girls some oats but it's not as difficult for me with just two! I would think a pinch for each would be ok so with 5 degus a tablespoon full sprinkled around would be safe. Better to give them what I'm sure they will think is too few than too many.
