Chinchilla & Degu Food
Feeding your Chinchilla
85-90% of a chinchilla’s diet should be high quality, dust extracted feeding hay. This should be supplemented with a small portion of chinchilla nuggets, a small handful of fresh greens and plenty of fresh water. For variety you can also add in the occasional Gnaw Stick and Herb Mixes
Feeding your Degu
Degus can’t digest or metabolise sugar and carbohydrates and they’re very prone to diabetes. That’s why they need a low-fat, low-sugar diet. Avoid high fat foods such peanuts and sunflower seeds, along with foods that are high in sugar, such as fruits. Many foods formulated for other species such as rabbits, hamsters and gerbils are not suitable for degus.
