Beaphar Care+ Dego Food 750 grams is a complete all-in-one pellet food for degus. Every pellet has the same composition, preventing your degu from eating selectively as with a mixed diet. This keeps the daily feeding bowl organized and helps prevent only the favorite pieces from being chosen.
At DRD, when it comes to degu food, we focus primarily on fiber, a sugar-conscious composition, eating behavior, and practical feed reliability. Beaphar Care+ Degoe contains extruded pellets with 19% crude fiber, a fat percentage tailored to degus, and no added sugars. The harder pellet texture encourages thorough chewing and fits in with a daily routine including hay, suitable herbs, and clean drinking water.
✔ Complete all-in-one pellets for degus
✔ Every pellet has the same composition
✔ Helps limit picky eating and leftovers in the container
✔ Crude fiber 19%, suitable for fiber-conscious dego nutrition
✔ With FOS, MOS, yucca, spirulina, echinacea and green tea extract
✔ Practical 750 gram packaging
Degus can be picky eaters. With a mixed diet, they may pick out exactly the parts they like best, while other pieces are left behind. With all-in-one pellets, this is much easier to prevent, because every pellet has the same composition. This way, your degu receives the same nutrition with every bite.
The firm extruded kibble gives your degu something to chew on thoroughly. This makes mealtime more active and helps them consume the food more slowly. The composition is tailored to degus and contains, among other things, fiber, minerals, yeast, algae, and carefully selected plant-based additives.
Also nice: Beaphar Care+ Degoe contains no added sugars. This aligns well with the nutritional needs of degus, allowing you to consciously choose a straightforward basic diet and appropriate snack times.
This food is specially formulated for degus. For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, dwarf rats, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chinchillas, you should preferably choose food specifically formulated for those species, because their nutritional needs are different.
Feed Beaphar Care+ Degoe as a complete pellet food for degus. The guideline is 10–15 grams per degu per day. The correct amount depends on weight, condition, age, activity, and how much hay and other suitable food your degu eats in addition.
A good daily routine is clear: hay as a fiber-rich base, a measured portion of pellets, and, where appropriate, natural herbs or leaves for variety. This keeps feeding clear and allows you to quickly see if your degu is eating well.
The recommended amount depends on the degu, condition, and activity. Use the guideline as a practical starting point and then closely monitor appetite, weight, hay intake, and leftovers in the food bowl.
| Basic guideline | Daily portion | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Per degoe | approx. 10–15 grams per day | Use this as a basis for calculation and look at fitness and activity. |
This guideline is intended as a practical starting point. An active degu may have different needs than a quiet animal. Therefore, always observe body condition, appetite, and how much food is left over.
Degus are social animals and should be kept with other degus. Therefore, we calculate below based on 2 degus. The duration depends on the daily portion per animal, activity level, and how much is left over or spilled.
| Situation | Daily portion for 2 degus | 750 g lasts about |
|---|---|---|
| 2 degus | approx. 20–30 g per day combined | approx. 25–38 days |
Calculation aid: 750 grams ÷ total daily portion for 2 degus = number of days. If you give slightly more or less per degu based on condition and activity, the duration of use will adjust accordingly.
Cereals, vegetable by-products, yucca schidigera 0.1%, echinacea 0.03%, green tea extract 0.01%, FOS 0.01%, vegetables, minerals, yeast, MOS 0.1%, algae, spirulina 0.01%.
This composition is designed as a complete all-in-one pellet food for degus. The plant-based foundation, vegetables, and minerals ensure clear daily nutrition, while FOS and MOS support the intestinal flora. Yucca schidigera is often used for its role in controlling stool odor. Echinacea, green tea extract, yeast, algae, and spirulina enrich the composition and help make the pellet food complete, serving as an easily dosable basis for daily care.
Crude protein 14%, crude fiber 19%, crude fat 3.3%, crude ash 4.9%, calcium 0.84%, potassium 0.98%, phosphorus 0.43%, sulfur 0.005%, sodium 0.08%, omega 3 0.0003%, magnesium 0.17%, omega 6 0.96%, energy value 2500 kcal/kg.
This analysis is consistent with a complete all-in-one degu food with a fiber-conscious composition. The 19% crude fiber aligns well with the role of pellets as a daily base alongside hay. The 3.3% fat content is tailored to degus, and the minerals contribute to a complete, easily dosable daily portion.

Switch gradually when changing food. Mix the new food with the old food for the first few days and gradually increase the proportion of Beaphar Care+ Degu. This allows your degu to get used to the smell, taste, and pellet texture.
During the transition, pay close attention to appetite, hay intake, activity, and droppings. If you notice clear changes, build up more slowly or seek advice from a knowledgeable veterinarian.
Beaphar Care+ Degoe is a complete feed, but that does not mean that pellets need to make up the entire daily menu. For degus, hay remains an important fiber-rich base in the enclosure. In addition, you can use suitable herbs, leaves, and carefully chosen snacks for variety and foraging behavior.
Store the food in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place. Check the smell, texture, and freshness of the pellets, especially when the bag has been open for a while. This ensures the food remains appealing and pleasant to feed.

Goed voer! Ze eten alles op. (Bij gemengd voer eten ze alleen de lekkere dingen eruit en laten de rest liggen) Met dit voer krijgen ze alle nodige voedingstoffen binnen. En het ruikt ook nog lekker!
Mijn Degoes zijn er dol op! Een mooi groot zakje en je doet er ook echt lang mee, ik deed er ongeveer 2 maanden mee, misschien nog wel langer. En de prijs is het ook echt waardig!
