Degu gnawing material and gnawing wood for tooth wear: safe and natural

Degu gnawing material & gnawing wood – natural tooth wear with safe materials

Looking for degu gnawing material that actually works? Degus need daily gnawing wood because their teeth grow continuously throughout their lives. Gnawing naturally wears down their teeth and gives your degus something to do (making them less likely to gnaw on cage parts). In this category, you'll find carefully selected, natural materials like willow, birch, hazelnut, apple tree, raspberry stems, and coffeewood – safe to nibble on and ideal for daily enrichment. As specialists in rodents and rabbits since 2011, we choose gnawing products that work practically in the enclosure: good texture, a nice variety, and suitable for degus (preferably without sweet additives).

Harvest & branches (daily gnawing wood)

Degu teeth wear down: why gnawing wood is essential

Degus are designed to chew: their teeth grow continuously and need to "work" naturally every day. Gnawing materials support this behavior and prevent degus from focusing their energy on bars, platforms, or ledges. The best foundation remains a good, textured diet (like hay), but gnawing wood provides a practical addition to both activity and gnawing needs.

Safe, natural materials for degus

This category primarily features natural woods and stems popular with degus, such as willow (deliciously crunchy), birch (fine as slices), hazelnut (sturdier), apple tree (often used for harvesting/branches), and coffeewood (extra durable). There are also natural stems like raspberry and mint that add variety. Tip: offer multiple textures at once, and degus will choose what they like best.

Which type of gnawing wood is right for your degus?

Start simple: choose one soft/medium option (e.g., willow or apple tree), one firmer option (e.g., hazelnut), and one "durable challenge" (coffee wood or thick slices). This will create a good base for degu gnawing material . If you notice little interest, switch the shape (branch → slice → stick) instead of replacing everything at once.

How do you use degu gnawing material?

Place branches and discs in several places in the enclosure (choice = interest).
Combine sturdy (coffeewood) with “faster changing” (sticks/discs).
Hide a few pieces among the hay or in a gnawing box for an extra challenge.
Rotate 1–2 items weekly to keep things fresh without creating unrest in the enclosure.
Remove wet or dirty wood and replace as needed.

Checklist: gnawing wood for degus

Daily gnawing wood available (not “occasionally”).
Multiple structures at once: branch + disk/stick + sturdy item.
Choose natural materials and avoid sweet additives.
Check for wear and splinters and replace if in doubt.
Store rodent products dry and clean.

Safety

Preferably use controlled gnawing wood from a reliable source (do not pick from outside).
Immediately remove wood that is wet, dirty or moldy.
Choose natural, safe materials intended for rodents.
Check hanging items for firm attachment and wear.

FAQ

What is the best degu gnawing material for tooth wear?
A mix works best: branches (willow/apple tree) for daily gnawing, discs/sticks (birch/hazelnut) for variety, and a sturdy item such as coffeewood for an extra challenge.

Why is “natural” so important to degus?
Degus are sensitive to a diet that's too rich. Therefore, gnawing materials without sweet coatings or unnecessary additives usually fit best within a simple, natural degu menu.

How often should I replace gnawing wood?
That depends on how vigorously your degus gnaw. Replace the wood as soon as it becomes wet/dirty or splinters significantly. Sturdy options (like coffeewood) often last longer than thin twigs.
