Don't Recommend

Contains molasses. Degu's can't eat sugar with how prone they are to diabetes. Don't recommend this food for them. Would suggest chinchilla food with no added sugars

My degus love it

The only thing about this food is that it can crumble easier, so don't throw your bag around at all. :) the only thing that is harder about this food is the degus

Chewy’s Ingredients are Incorrect - Product Contains Cane Molasses

CONTAINS CANE MOLASSES I’ve been using this product for my degus 4.5 years and they loved it. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed one of my younger ones (2.5 years)

CONTAINS CANE MOLASSES I’ve been using this product for my degus 4.5 years and they loved it. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed one of my younger ones (2.5 years) eyes looked cloudy (note this food is supplemental to their regular timothy hay). Knowing degus can be prone to diabetes, I immediately checked the bag’s ingredients and noticed it contained cane molasses. I immediately ordered a degu pellet with NO ADDED SUGAR OR MOLASSES and am introducing it to all four of my degus. I reached out to a degu page on Facebook to get more info. They could be osmotic cataracts, and one member of the group said they had a degu that had some clouding in one eye and immediately changed their diet, and about 10 days later, it cleared up. I hoping for this result. I’ve included a screenshot of the ingredient list from the image on the Exotic Nutrition page. Chewy, please update your ingredients photo and list so degu owners are not feeding them a product that is potentially dangerous.

They love it.

They usually kick a bunch out of the bowl but they're eating most of this. It must taste better

My guys love this!

My degus love this over any other food I have offered them, they are very healthy so far and we have been using it for about 2-3 months now.
