Vitamin and mineral supplements are not required when feeding with an Exotic Nutrition food specific for your pet.

Always provide fresh drinking water to your Degu.

PELLET FOOD STORAGE: Refrigeration is highly recommended to retain full nutritional value. Store bag in a cool, dry place (under 70 degrees). Keep food in a sealed, air-tight container. Do not frequently expose food to a freeze/thaw cycle. If storing bag for longer than 8 weeks, refrigerate (up to 6 months). If storing for longer than 6 months, freeze (up to 12 months).

Question 2

I thought alfalfa hay was only supposed to be given as a treat, but the first ingredient of this degu complete is alfalfa meal. Is there a difference?

Accepted Answer

Although green leaf alfalfa should be offered in limited quantities, the dehydrated alfalfa meal in this food (18%) is considered a safe and acceptable part of a Degu's diet. It is blended with vitamins and other ingredients to form the pellet. Hard pellets are also important to prevent excess tooth growth. As long as high quality timothy hay (regular loose hay, hay cubes, hay pellets) is the MAIN component of your Degu's diet, your pet will be very healthy.
