Why is a spacious degu cage so important?
Degus prefer to live together and are active all day long: running, climbing, gnawing, and digging. A cage that's simply "tall" isn't enough: you also want sufficient floor space and a design that provides safe walking routes and resting areas. Therefore, always combine your cage with multiple hiding places ( houses ), connecting routes ( tunnels ), and plenty of gnawing material ( gnawing material ).
What should you pay attention to when choosing a degu cage?
1) Dimensions & layout: choose a cage that is too spacious rather than too small, and use multiple levels without dangerous drop heights. 2) Bar spacing: appropriate bar spacing prevents escape and provides a sense of security. 3) Material: degus like to gnaw; therefore, regularly check for wear and tear and choose sturdy, well-finished cages. 4) Digging zone: degus build their nests and tunnels in bedding; ensure you can provide a deep layer, for example, with a high floor tray or splash guard and sufficient bedding .

Modular cages are ideal if you want to grow with your pet: you start with a base and expand later. Extra-large cages (XL) are great if you want a spacious base with plenty of design flexibility. The choice depends on your space, your group, and how you want to arrange the enclosure. Want the right mix of food, activities, and furnishings right away? Then combine your cage with Degoe hay , a hay rack , and a permanent water station with water bottles and water bowls .
