Fresh Herbs and Plants for Degus

Fresh Degu Herbs can be ordered easily and quickly at DRD Rodent Shop ^®

Fresh Degu Herbs are not only tasty, but also very healthy for your Degus! Degus will often like the fresh herbs just a bit better than dried herbs. Also, some components can sometimes be lost during the drying process. So fresh herbs are by far the most healthy for the animals.

Build up slowly

The fresh herbs are delivered as a live plant. The plants can be placed in the animal's enclosure. If the Degus get a certain plant for the first time, it is wise not to immediately offer the entire plant. The new type of herb must first be introduced slowly. For example, start with one leaf. Then keep a close eye on the Degus to determine how it reacts to this. Pay particular attention to the stool. If the Degu seems to respond well, the dose can be increased slightly every day.

Where do our fresh herbs come from?

The fresh herbs come straight from the grocer! For that reason, the herbs are not always available in their fresh form. Each herb has its own time when it can be sown and harvested, we keep a close eye on this biological clock, so when the fresh herbs are there, grab them quickly and let your animals enjoy them!

The herbs are specially grown for consumption, so organic.

Store fresh herbs

The fresh plants are unfortunately a bit more difficult to store than the dried herbs. Each type of plant requires different care. One species needs more light and water than the other species. Some plant knowledge is really required for the long storage of fresh herbs.
