Why choose Little One Groene Vallei Degoedevoer?

Degus are true fiber eaters. They require a diet centered on rough plant material, hay, herbs, and an appropriate staple. Little One Groene Vallei Degu Food has been developed as a grain-free fiber food and contains a broad mix of meadow and mountain grass, herbs, flowers, vegetables, and berries.

The composition is interesting because the food does not consist of just one type of kibble or one simple mix. Mealberry incorporates nearly 80 ingredients, including 60 different meadow grasses, herbs, and flower petals. This gives the food a broad botanical basis and makes it appealing to degus, who enjoy nibbling and recognizing different textures.

The fiber content is also a significant plus. With 24% fiber, this food fits well into a degu diet centered on fiber-rich foods. Hay also remains important in the enclosure, both as edible fiber material and for natural nibbling, foraging, and occupation.

For which animals is this food suitable?

• Degu: suitable as a daily staple food for degus. Because degus are social animals and should be kept with other degus, the consumption indication below is based on 2 degus as standard.

This food has been developed for degus. For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chinchillas, you should preferably choose a food specifically formulated for those species.

Grain-free and high in fiber: why is that good for degus?

Degus are best suited to a simple, high-fiber, and low-sugar diet. This Green Valley variant contains no grains and is built around grass, herbs, flowers, vegetables, and berries. This makes the food distinctly different from many traditional mixed rodent foods.

The fiber-rich base helps keep mealtimes calm and appropriate. Degus are active animals that enjoy gnawing, exploring, and eating at multiple times. A diet rich in plant fiber aligns well with this, especially when combined with good hay, suitable herbs, and a spacious setup with foraging opportunities.

The addition of FOS, flaxseed, flaxseed oil, yeast extract, and yucca extract makes the composition more complete. These are functional ingredients within the recipe, while the base remains primarily plant-based and fiber-focused.

Feeding & use

Mealberry states that Little One Groene Vallei Degoevoer can be used without restriction as a basic feed, as a hay source, and as a supplement to hay to enrich the botanical composition of the diet.

• Use as a daily staple food for degus.
• Combine with good hay and suitable herbs or leaves.
• Preferably only refill when the food has been fully eaten.
• Regularly monitor physical condition and eating habits.

• Store the food in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place.
