For hay for your Degoes you have come to the right place in our Degoe webshop! Hay is very important for Degus. This is because Degus have a so-called 'full stomach'. Their stomach has little muscle and therefore cannot independently transport the food to the next part of the intestine. This is supposedly taken over by the following food portions. This also explains why Degus eat an average of many small portions of food per day. Their diet consists mainly of fiber!
The large appendix of Degus is the so-called fermentation chamber. That's where the fine dietary fibers from the hay go. There they are converted into proteins, vitamin B and vitamin K by special bacteria.
Degus have a pronounced need to gnaw. That is why they mainly need hay that is rich in structure and fiber. The hay is not only used for food, but also to meet the gnawing needs. A high-quality hay can be recognized by a number of points.
- Smell . Hay should smell fresh. If the hay smells dusty and musty, it may contain mold. This is not healthy for either the animal or the owner.
- Feeling . The hay should consist of long, crisp blades.
- Avoiding Poisonous Plants . A responsible hay producer knows his land and knows what to look out for. Regular checks for poisonous plants are necessary.
- Untreated nature reserves . A high diversity of herbs in the hay is very healthy. It is also important that nature is protected.
