About this product
Feed about 2 tablespoons (4 oz) of these degu food pellets twice a day, with hay available free choice alongside them. The pellets are vitamin-fortified and include whole oats, and the bag holds 18 lb (8.16 kg) of feed. Exotic Nutrition makes this diet for degus at all life stages.
What does this degu diet provide?
The feed comes as pellets rather than a loose mix, and whole oats are listed among its ingredients. According to the manufacturer, these pellets help stop teeth from overgrowing and meet a degu's chewing requirement.
The diet is vitamin-fortified. Each pound of feed contains at least 14807.70 iu of vitamin A, 400.00 iu of vitamin D and 3.00 iu of vitamin E, and the analysis lists crude protein at 18.0% minimum, crude fat at 2.73% minimum and crude fibre between 17.5% and 19%.

Checks before you buy this 18 lb bag
This bag suits a degu only, and the manufacturer lists it for all life stages, so a young animal and an adult eat the same feed. The bag holds 18 lb (8.16 kg), which is 288 ounce of pellets in total.
Timing matters once the food is in the cage. Moistened pellets should not stay in the cage longer than 2 hours, and dry food should be removed after 24 hours. The brand asks that fresh drinking water be available at all times, and that hay of good quality be given free choice.
What goes into the pellets
The ingredient list starts with alfalfa meal, followed by wheat midds, corn meal, soybean meal, soyhulls and whole oats. Vitamins A, D2, E and B-12 appear further down, along with yucca schidigera extract, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, sulfur, niacin, copper sulfate, riboflavin, selenium, zinc and salt.
Questions about this degu diet
How much should I feed an adult degu?
About 2 tablespoons (4 oz) twice a day is the manufacturer's amount. Adjust the quantity so your degu keeps its optimum body weight.
Do I need to add a vitamin supplement?
No supplement is needed when the diet is an Exotic Nutrition food made for that pet, according to the brand. If your degu's diet is less than 70% Degu Complete, the brand says to add supplements.
What do baby degus get?
Babies are fed free choice. Adults get measured portions, and you adjust the amount to keep body weight at its optimum.
Can I give treats alongside the pellets?
Flowers and other treats can be offered twice a week. Hay of good quality stays available free choice.
Feeding routine and food handling
Portion the pellets twice a day at about 2 tablespoons (4 oz) per feeding for an adult degu. Hay of good quality should be within reach free choice, and fresh drinking water should always be in the cage.
Flowers or other treats fit into the routine twice a week. Any moistened food comes out of the cage within 2 hours, and dry food within 24 hours.
