Product Description

Provide your unique Chilean rodents with the highest tier of tailored nutrition using Supreme Science Selective Degu Food. This premium single component extruded diet is carefully designed by exotic pet experts to meet the exact metabolic and physical needs of degus, keeping them full of vitality, energy, and health. Degus have a highly sensitive system that cannot process sugars, which means they require a specialized daily menu that completely omits sweet ingredients while delivering a massive boost of beneficial fiber to support their overall well being.

The recipe features a wholesome blend of natural ingredients, including real broccoli and fragrant basil, which provide a rich source of natural antioxidants to support long term health. Fussy degus are well known for sorting through mixed seed or muesli blends, picking out only certain pieces and leaving essential nutrients behind. These uniform, crunchy nuggets completely eliminate the problem of selective feeding, ensuring your little friends absorb a perfectly balanced meal with every single bite. The formula is also packed with essential vitamin C to bolster their immune defense.

Distributed by Trusty Pet Supplies, this advanced daily feed is entirely vegetarian and crafted without any artificial colorings or artificial flavors. The tough, high fiber texture of the extruded pieces provides a vital physical workout for their jaws, helping to naturally wear down their continuously growing incisor teeth as they chew. It is a highly palatable, incredibly safe daily feeding solution that manages their weight perfectly, preventing obesity and keeping your precious companions in peak condition.

Suitable For

Degus of all breeds, sizes, and life stages

Fussy eaters prone to selective feeding from mixed diets

Pets requiring a strict zero added sugar recipe to manage health risks

Small exotic rodents needing extra dental enrichment and high fiber support

Feeding Guide / How To Use

When moving your pets to Supreme Science Selective Degu Food, transition them gradually over a period of ten to fourteen days. Begin by mixing a small portion of the new extruded nuggets into their current food, slowly increasing the proportion of Selective while systematically decreasing the old mix until it has been completely replaced. An average adult degu will typically require approximately 20g to 30g of these nuggets per day, ideally divided into a morning and evening feed. Because degus require an abundance of long fiber to keep their digestive systems moving properly, this complete food must always be served alongside an unlimited supply of fresh meadow or Timothy hay. Ensure clean, fresh drinking water is constantly available in a sturdy bottle or a heavy ceramic dish.
