Degoe feeding bowls – sturdy, hygienic and practical feeding (ceramic, stainless steel, concrete & hanging bowls)
Degus are active rodents, and you'll notice this when they're eating: some animals push bowls around or knock them over. Therefore, it's best to choose a food bowl that's stable, hygienic, and easy to clean. Heavy materials like ceramic and concrete are ideal if your degus like to "build." Hanging bowls are especially useful if you want to keep the feeding area higher and neater. As specialists in rodents and rabbits since 2011, we select food bowls that work well in practice. Always combine a fixed feeding area with degu hay (always available) and appropriate degu food .

Why a good food bowl for degus?
A good feeding bowl prevents unnecessary spills and keeps the food clean longer (less bedding or sand in the bowl). Stability is especially important for degus. Working with a group? Then it often helps to create multiple feeding stations . Complete your feeding zone with a fixed roughage area using Degu hay racks and additional challenges through play and foraging .
What do you pay attention to?
Choose based on (1) weight (anti-tip), (2) material (hygiene & durability), and (3) shape (suits your enclosure). For true "tippers," ceramic or concrete is usually the most practical. Want to feed higher? Then a hanging feeder is ideal.
Types & shapes (useful in practice)
For multiple animals at once, a longer bowl is ideal, such as the 22 cm long ceramic feeding bowl . A compact, sturdy bowl is a good choice as a permanent location, such as the Meadow feeding bowl or the 16.5 cm oval food/water bowl .
