Today I had to prepare a new mix of flowers and smaller leaves. All these things I either collected and dried on my own (with the help of my husband ) or were grown in the garden of my parents; there aren't any purchased items in it: The mixture contains: rose petals, marigold, flowers of Jerusalem artichoke, brown knapweed, cornflower, flowers and herb of red clover, yarrow, St. John's wort, shepherd's purse, flowers and herb of marguerite, Canadian goldenrod, a little bit of common horsetail, some sunflower petals and lemon balm.

This looks fabulous (as usual ) So much better and fresher than the bought stuff; I am really looking forward to spring to get going with the collecting.

Hi, I have a question apology72 and Maravilla. Can I show these mixtures on the Polish forum? Do it and give my Degus?

Hi Marlena, as for me it would be okay to show these mixtures (and lists of ingredients) in a Polish forum, but don't forget to put a source of the pics... or you link the entire thread.
What are you feeding at the moment? If you use mainly such pellet food or any other mainly industrial stuff, than change nutrition slowly to avoid intestinal problems. Degus are very special about their preferences... like we humans are. Not all of my little ones like all of the ingredients, but as there are so many different things, they can chose what they like or need.

Thank you for approval. I'll show a couple of threads on the forum. My Degus eat daily VL Degu Nature and my herbs. What is the mix to give a daily basis? I wanted this to be administered daily, and can have 3 as an additive.

Thank you very much. I preferred to ask - copyright. After you read German. Mixes are great. Just what will replace the basic food?

Hello Marlena, these mixes are the basic food of our degus. I don't use any industrial stuff like JR Farm Degu Spezial/ Premium, Vitakraft, Versele Laga etc. My degus only get these mixes, in different combinations (each time I have to mix, I change ingredients or at least the amounts, I don't weigh how much I put in from everything). In Chile, I really doubt that degus will find hard food like the things sold in shops. So, why should I use these if there are better things... and cheaper things as I try to collect and dry a lot of this on my own? And this is very much as I have 10 little hungry monsters ;D ;D ;D. What I have to buy are all these seeds.

The truth. Everything in Chile is not. I wrote down all of the mixture on your computer. Probably from all over the forum. I have to determine who administered daily. What is on Monday, Tuesday, etc.
