Bunny Nature DegoeDroom Basic Degoevoer 1.2 kg

Bunny Nature DegoeDroom Basic is a complete degu food for degus. This food has been developed with a natural, fiber-rich composition that aligns with the plant-based diet of degus. The food contains, among other things, 42 different plants, apple tree branches, whole corn plants, Jerusalem artichoke, parsnip, dandelion leaves, fennel seeds, chamomile blossoms, and maca root.

At DRD, when it comes to degu food, we focus primarily on fiber, texture, eating behavior, and how well the food fits into the daily routine. Degus are active, intelligent animals that enjoy nibbling, searching, and holding their food with their paws. DegoeDroom Basic fits this perfectly thanks to the Trimello® texture with varying fiber lengths and the option to scatter part of the food for extra foraging fun.

✔ With 42 plants and natural ingredients
✔ Trimello® structure with different fiber lengths
✔ With apple tree branches for extra chewing texture
✔ High in fiber with 20% crude fiber
✔ Also nice to scatter partially for natural foraging

Why is DegoeDroom Basic a good fit for degus?

Degus naturally eat primarily plant-based and fiber-rich material. They are curious, active, and enjoy using their paws to hold food. DegoeDroom Basic aligns with this, featuring a varied composition, different fiber lengths, and ingredients that encourage quiet nibbling.

Bunny Nature's Trimello® concept incorporates multiple plants in various shapes and fiber lengths. As a result, the food has more structure than a simple, uniform kibble. This is pleasant for degus, because eating is then not just food, but also a natural activity.

The 20% crude fiber and the ratio of crude fiber to starch are well-suited to the role of this feed as a daily staple. Hay also remains important as a fiber-rich supplement and as a regular activity in the enclosure.

For which animals is this food suitable?

• Degu: suitable as a complete daily degu food. Use alongside hay, clean drinking water, and appropriate herbs/extras within a calm feeding structure.

This food is specifically intended for degus. For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chinchillas, it is preferable to choose a food formulated for those species, as the nutritional needs and portion sizes are different.

Feeding & use

Bunny Nature DegoeDroom Basic can be offered freely. Fill the food bowl and only refill it when it is completely empty. This way, you keep track of what is being eaten and prevent new food from constantly being piled on top.

Because degus are social animals and should be kept with other degus, it is helpful to closely monitor the group's consumption. You can offer the food in a bowl and scatter a small portion on a clean, dry spot. This way, you turn mealtime into foraging time as well.

• Give good quality hay daily as a fiber-rich supplement.
• Always ensure clean drinking water.
• Only refill the food bowl when it is completely empty.
• Use a small portion as scatter feed for extra foraging fun.
• Switch gradually when changing feed.
• Store the food in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place.

Compound

Contains, among other things, apple tree branches, whole corn plants, sunflower extraction meal, Jerusalem artichokes, parsnips, marigold blossoms, dandelion leaves, fennel seeds, chamomile blossoms, maca root, and a wide variety of natural plants and herbs.

This composition is suitable for a natural, fiber-rich diet for degus. The plant base and varying fiber lengths provide structure, while ingredients such as apple tree branches, Jerusalem artichoke, dandelion leaves, fennel seeds, and chamomile blossoms offer extra variety. As a result, DegoeDroom Basic is not only a daily food but also a food that encourages degus to actively nibble and explore.

Analysis

Crude protein 14.3%, crude oils and fats 2.8%, crude fiber 20%. Vitamins and minerals: including vitamin A, vitamin D3, vitamin E and trace elements such as copper, zinc and selenium.

This analysis is consistent with a high-fiber complete degu diet. The 20% crude fiber aligns well with the need for structure and plant fibers. The fat content of 2.8% remains manageable, while the protein content of 14.3% fits within a daily diet for active degus.

Switching to DegoedDroom Basic

Switch gradually when changing food. Mix the new food with the old food for the first few days and gradually increase the proportion of DegoeDroom Basic. This allows your degus to get used to the new scent, taste, and texture.

• Day 1–2: mix a small amount of new food with the old food.
• Days 3–5: feed approximately half old, half new.
• Days 6–7: mainly new food with a small amount of old food remaining.
• Then switch completely when your degus continue to eat well and their stool remains normal.

Good to know

DegoeDroom Basic is a complete pet food, but the overall diet remains important. Degus thrive on a clear food structure, sufficient fiber, hay, clean drinking water, and appropriate natural extras. Use the food bowl to keep track of the food and scatter a small portion around for extra activity.

• Hay remains a fine, fiber-rich addition to the daily degu menu.
• Use a portion as scatter feed to encourage foraging.
• Keep extra snacks small so that the basic diet remains well-eaten.
• Store the packaging in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place.
• Check the smell, color, and texture before offering the food.
