Degu Health; we are a robust creature requiring little specialist care and are easy to look after.

If you don't know already then you need to know that we can't eat sweet things as we can develop a condition which is very similar to diabetes in humans. Most of our conditions can be caused by too much sweet foods.

This site is under construction, please visit us again soon when we hope to have all the information you need about Degu's.

Yellow/orange teeth:
Hey this is a good thing in Degus, heck it's a great thing and if our teeth aren't bright yellow or orange then there might well be something wrong with us.

Exercise:
We need plenty of exercise and a wheel or ball is an excellent way to exercise us safely. We like the large balls that you can get us as it means we can have a bit of rare freedom whithout getting bothered by anyone or getting lost underneath furniture. Exercise wheels are great but we really need non-wire type wheel like my own custom designed and super quiet exercise wheel that maybe you too could have.
