Pet Health Care for Your Degu
Generally little known in the UK, degus are rodents originating in Chile which are increasingly being kept as pets. Many people say that keeping degus is similar to keeping a mouse as a pet: provided a little research is carried out this type of pet health care is relatively simple.
Just as with other animals, degu pet health care requires a proper home for the animal. For degus this means a decent sized cage equipped with a water bowl or bottle and a food bowl. The cage ought to be kept somewhere quiet away from cold draughts and out of direct sunlight.
For bedding, paper based cat litter is perfect and hay and shredded paper should be available for burrowing and sleeping. Make sure to clean the cage at least once a week to avoid pet health care issues.

Diet wise, hard vegetables and hay are perfect for degus. Avoid sugary foods because they could lead to diabetes. Make sure clean water is readily available. Teeth need to be worn down with fibre because they constantly grow. Orange teeth mean a healthy degu: yellow or white suggest a potentially serious pet health care problem.
Another part of pet health care is handling your pet. As long as you take care to be gentle handling shouldn’t be a problem. When picking them up do so gently, holding them underneath. Trying to pick them up from above will frighten them. And never, ever pick them up by the tail. Degus’ tails will fall off if they are grabbed there. It will not grow back. If this does happen, talk to a vet.
