JR Farm Degoe Special is a complete mixed food for degus. The mix is specially formulated for degus and contains a variety of flakes, herbs, flowers, alfalfa, vegetables, and mountain meadow hay. This makes it a great choice for owners who want to provide their degus with a recognizable, herbaceous, and varied daily diet.
Degus have specific nutritional needs. They thrive on a simple, high-fiber diet with plenty of plant-based ingredients, unlimited hay, and an appropriate daily portion of degu food. At DRD, we therefore look not only at what is in the bag, but especially at how the food fits into the daily care of degus. This mix is a good fit for owners who want to clearly see what they are feeding and simultaneously offer their degus more scent, texture, and variety.

JR Farm Degoe Special has been developed as a staple food for degus. The base consists of oat flakes, wheat flakes, pea flakes, alfalfa, and wheat, supplemented with herbs, flowers, vegetables, and mountain meadow hay. This creates a varied mix with different aromas, textures, and flavors.
This is pleasant for degus, because eating is not just nutrition, but also a daily activity. The recognizable elements in this mix make feeding more appealing than a completely uniform kibble. Your degus can sniff, search, and choose, while you, as the owner, can clearly see what is in the food bowl.
The mix contains no added sugar and therefore fits well into a conscious degu routine. Hay always remains the fiber-rich basis of the day. Use JR Farm Degoe Special as a measured daily portion alongside unlimited hay, suitable gnawing materials, and optionally a small, conscious supplement of suitable herbs or fiber-rich snacks.
For other animal species, you prefer to choose a food specifically tailored to their own nutritional needs. For example, look at separate degu food , hay for degus , and suitable degu snacks to build up daily care logically.
Give JR Farm Degoe Special as a measured daily portion alongside unlimited hay. Only refill the feeder when the food is almost completely eaten. This way, you keep better track of what your degus are actually eating and the diet remains nicely balanced.
As a practical guideline, you can calculate with approximately 15 to 20 grams of food per degu per day. The correct amount depends on age, activity level, condition, group size, and what other hay, herbs, and fiber-rich extras you offer. With a mixed diet, it is wise not to constantly refill only the favorite items, but to keep the portion manageable and simple.
You can place part of the portion in a feeder and spread a small portion throughout the enclosure. For example, scatter some feed among hay, on a safe platform, or in a foraging area. This immediately turns eating into a natural foraging moment, without the total daily portion becoming overwhelming.
Are you switching from another food? Then gradually mix JR Farm Degoe Special into the old food and build this up slowly over approximately 7 to 10 days. This way, your degus get used to the smell, taste, and texture of the new food.
Because degus are social animals, the consumption indication is based on a minimum of two degus. The table below is a practical guideline based on approximately 15 to 20 grams per degu per day.
| Packaging | 2 degus | 3 degus | 4 degus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 grams | about 12 to 16 days | about 8 to 11 days | about 6 to 8 days |
| 1.5 kg | approximately 37 to 50 days | approximately 25 to 33 days | about 18 to 25 days |
| 10 kg | approximately 250 to 333 days | approximately 166 to 222 days | approximately 125 to 166 days |
The actual duration of use depends on your group, the daily portion, eating behavior, and the rest of the feeding pattern. For permanent degu groups, a larger package is often practical; if you want to test first, a smaller package is convenient.
