When developing a complete and healthy diet for degus, one should consider their wild diet. Degus are herbivorous rodents, but not true grazers. In the wild, they primarily eat herbs and other plant parts. These plant parts make up about two-thirds of their diet, with grasses also being a part of the diet. The remainder of their diet, averaging about 25% over the year, consists of seeds.
✔ 100% Natural
✔ Packed in a protective atmosphere
✔ Plastic-free packaging made of cellulose. These bags are biodegradable and compostable.
Degus eat relatively little hay, so plants and herbs are very important in their diet. The plants wear down their teeth, providing the animals with the necessary fiber, and of course, calcium and other minerals. These plant parts should be readily available to degus.
Hay should always be freely available. However, it usually only makes up a small portion of the diet. High-quality meadow hay is the best choice for degus and also encourages natural foraging.
At Mixerama, we always strive for freshness! That's why we've decided to stop selling bulk packs of Mixerama natural foods. A small rodent eats an average of 6 to 10 grams of food per day. A 500-gram pack will last you 50 to 83 days, which equates to about 1.5 to 2.5 months—a very long time.
If you do need 2.5 kg of food, it's better to order five 500-gram bags instead of one 2.5 kg bag, for freshness reasons. Once a bag of organic food is opened, it needs to be eaten quickly to maintain freshness.
Yes, it's a natural food for degus. The composition is tailored to the natural dietary needs of these animals. No pressed pellets have been added.
Yes, because an analysis is available for this food, Mixerama Degu Food is a complete food for degus that can be fed as a staple diet. It is important to offer the animals sufficient hay and fiber-rich food in addition to the staple diet. Degus need a fiber-rich diet.
In the wild, seeds make up the remainder of the diet. For degus, the combined portion of seeds should not exceed a quarter of the total diet. As a guideline, this corresponds to approximately 3 g per degu per day. Seeds can have very different nutritional values. Therefore, when mixing seeds, special attention should be paid to the fiber, calcium, and phosphorus content.
Store in a cool, dark, and dry place. Use within 4 weeks of opening.
We recommend not buying too much food at once. If a larger supply is needed, always store it in a cool, dark place, and tightly sealed.

Sommige van mijn degoes zijn er heel zot op, anderen halen er hun neusje voor op. Maar toch worden er elke dag kleine hoeveelheden van gegeten, dus het zal wel lekker zijn hé
wordt redelijk goed gegeten.
Dit is het hoofdvoer van de degoes in ons asiel. Het is gemixt met oog op een goede calcium-fosfor verhouding. Het kost ons heel wat maar de gezondheid van de degoes gaat voor! Ze vinden het heerlijk en het ruikt lekker kruidig. Geen gevaar voor diabetes, overgewicht en bevat geen ongezonde toevoegingen. Super tevreden!
