Degu food – high-fiber, low-sugar food for active degus
Degus are energetic rodents with digestive systems that thrive on a high-fiber, low-energy diet. In this category, you'll find carefully selected degu food: complete pellets (no "selective feeding"), plus natural supplements like botanical mixes. The foundation is always unlimited hay—food is the supplement. Because degus can be sensitive to sugary products, it's best to choose a low-sugar diet and minimize "sweet" treats. As specialists in rodents and rabbits since 2011, we select brands that align with this approach. Always combine this food with Degu hay and (optionally) a regular routine with Degu herbs .
High in fibre, low in energy and practical: you avoid selective eating and can easily feed at fixed times.

Basics of the degu menu
A strong foundation is simple: unlimited hay , always fresh drinking water , and a complete, fiber-rich pellet . Many degu owners consciously choose a low-sugar formula and avoid fruity snacks. Want extra variety? Add small amounts of herbs or botanical mixes, without displacing the basics (hay + pellets).
Which type of degu food is right for you?
If you're looking for "simply the best degu food," choose a complete pellet as a daily standard: practical, measurable, and less selective. If you also want to enrich your diet, choose a botanical mix or fiber-rich flakes as a small supplement. Prefer to keep everything in one routine? Combine a complete pellet with hay and feed your herbs through fresh degu herbs or dried degu herbs .
How do you do this?
✔ Always provide unlimited hay and fresh water daily.
✔ Provide the complete kibble as a supplement (follow the instructions on the packaging).
✔ Preferably divide the chunks over two fixed feeding times.
✔ Switching to a new food? Mix it gradually over 7–14 days.
✔ Give extras (such as botanicals) small and as an enrichment, not as a basis.
Checklist
