Degu Play & Forage – foraging enrichment for active, curious degus

Degus are smart, energetic, social animals that like to be active during the day. Instead of just "feeding from a bowl," forage enrichment works much better: you let your degus search, sniff, push, and explore. This aligns with their natural behavior, makes their habitat more interesting, and helps prevent boredom. At DRD Rodent Shop® (specialists since 2011), you'll find foraging products tailored to degu needs: challenging, safe, and practical.

Sniffing & searching game
Hide small portions between strips or compartments: ideal for offering food more slowly and in a more fun way.

View snuffle mats →
Snack balls & rollers
Let your degu roll and push to get the treat. Good for exercise and challenge.

View snack ball →
Feeding trees & hanging challenges
Let degus climb, reach, and work for their food. Perfect for their active nature.

View feed tree →

Why is forage enrichment so important for degus?

Stimulate natural foraging behaviour: degus enjoy searching and collecting small portions.

Mental challenge: brain games and hiding places keep them sharp and curious.

More active feeding: “working for food” makes mealtime calmer and more interesting.

Enrichment in the habitat: more variety helps reduce boredom and destructive behavior.

What forage products can you find in this category?

  • Snuffle mats (such as apple/corn/strawberry/sunflower) to hide chunks or herbs.
  • Snack balls & snack rollers that encourage rolling/pushing.
  • Feed trees and hay structures that reward climbing and reaching.
  • Brain games (spin, slide or “treat hiding” concepts) for smart degus.
  • JR Farm (Back to Instinct) features active playpens, carpets, and fun parks for varied foraging.

Tip for SEO and customer experience: combine foraging products with suitable food and safe rewards: Degoe food , Degoe pellets and (for chewing needs) Degoe gnawing material .

Practical tips to get started with foraging

Start easy: hide a small portion of the daily food in a snuffle mat.
Change it up: rotate toys each week for a “new” effect.
Work with small portions: degus are prone to weight gain when fed too richly.
Make it natural: sprinkle some chunks or pellets through the bedding every now and then.

Safety & material selection

Degus are avid rodents. Therefore, choose sturdy, well-finished materials and check toys regularly for wear and tear. Replace items with loose parts or fraying edges regularly. Want even more "degu-proof" challenges? Also check out our degu tunnels for shelter and additional routes in the enclosure.

FAQ

What are the best foraging toys for beginners?
A snuffle mat or a simple snack ball works best. Start with a small portion of the daily food.

Can I use pellets or herbs in foraging toys?
Yes, that's right. Use small portions and choose supplements that are appropriate for the degu's diet. See Degu pellets for more information.

How often should I change foraging toys?
Often rotating 1–2 times a week is enough to keep things interesting.
