Degus, interesting!
Always wanted a degu.
I have guinea pigs, which I believe are cousins. Pet mice too. Will look into this a bit further. Might have a non- human use for those acorns.:j got married 3rd May 2013 :beer:0 -
There are beech nuts, too. They are tiny, but nice to snack on.0

I always understood acorns were toxic to degus (and any oak tree derivative) because of the tannins in them.Grocery budget in 2023 £2279.18/£2700Grocery budget in 2022 £2304.76/£2400Grocery budget in 2021 £2107.86/£2200Grocery budget in 2020 £2193.02/£2160Saving for Christmas 2023 #15 £ 90/ £3650

I've never heard that that they were toxic for them.
We only gave them a couple each day & they loved them. It didn't seem to do them any harm They recently died of old age....honest.

I love degus (currently pet-sitting my friends two). The first time I looked after them I thought I'd better find out a bit about them and found this website great as they have a list of things that are toxic.

I've found these two will eat anything they can get hold of, they have a particular fascination with laces at present.
