JR Farm Degoe Special Complete Degoe Food

JR Farm Degoe Special is a complete mixed food for degus. The mix contains, among other things, oat flakes, wheat flakes, pea flakes, carrot, parsley, alfalfa, lemon balm, peppermint, beetroot, narrow-leaved plantain, coneflower, marigold blossom, red clover, dandelion, and mountain meadow hay.

Degus have very specific nutritional needs. They thrive on a simple, fiber-rich diet with plenty of plant-based ingredients and without unnecessary sweet additives. This mix is therefore interesting for owners looking for a recognizable, spicy, and varied staple food formulated specifically for degus.

How long one package lasts depends on the number of degus and the daily portion. As a practical guideline, you can count on approximately 15 to 20 grams of food per degu per day. For two degus, a 1.5 kg package is therefore sufficient for about 37 to 50 days.

Why choose JR Farm Degoe Special?

Degus are not standard rodents when it comes to nutrition. They require a simple, fiber-rich diet with ingredients that match their natural eating habits. JR Farm Degoe Special has been developed as a staple food for degus and combines flakes, herbs, vegetables, and fiber-rich plant parts in one recognizable mix.

The base consists of oat flakes, wheat flakes, pea flakes, alfalfa, and wheat. To this, carrot, parsley, lemon balm, peppermint, and beetroot, among others, have been added. The mix also contains narrow-leaved plantain, coneflower, marigold blossom, red clover, dandelion, and mountain meadow hay. As a result, your degu receives a varied diet with different scents, textures, and flavors.

This food is especially suitable for owners who want to clearly see what they are feeding. The mix does not have a uniform kibble structure, but consists of recognizable components. This makes the food attractive in the bowl and gives degus more variety while eating.

Since this is a mixed feed, proper portion management is important. It is better to provide an appropriate daily portion than an overfilled bowl. Only refill when the food has been largely eaten. This way, you keep better track of what your degus are actually eating and prevent them from picking out only their favorite parts.

For which animals is this food suitable?

JR Farm Degoe Special is suitable for degus. This food is intended as the daily staple and is given alongside unlimited hay. Hay remains important as a fiber-rich base, because degus need to chew a lot and are occupied with eating throughout the day.

This food is not intended for guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, dwarf hamsters, mice, gerbils, rats, or chinchillas. For these animals, we recommend a food that specifically meets their own nutritional needs.

Feeding & use

Give JR Farm Degoe Special as a measured daily portion alongside unlimited hay. As a practical guideline, you can assume approximately 15 to 20 grams of feed per degu per day. The correct amount also depends on age, activity, condition, group size, and the overall feeding pattern.

Degus often enjoy being occupied with their food. You can place part of the portion in a food bowl and scatter a small portion throughout the enclosure, for example among hay, in a digging area, or in safe furnishings. This encourages natural foraging behavior without making the portion overwhelming.

Are you switching from a different food? Then gradually mix the new food with the old food. A gentle transition of about 7 to 10 days helps your degus get used to the different smell, taste, and composition.
