Hi,
I've decided to get some degus. I've done some research and am wondering if anyone knows of a good website or store where I can get good, species-appropriate accessories, furnishings, food, and other items? If anyone knows anything, please let me know.

Loading...I have a heart rhythm disorder but Ramadan is starting soon and I'm not allowed to eat or drink anything. Are there any disadvantages with my illness and do I also have to take tablets?
When I first saw my glans at 14, there was a lot of cheese on it. Then I took a bath, and it was all gone. Now it's back. Should I remove it, and if not, what would happen? Please explain your answer.
Hey, I got one of those disposable vapes about a year ago just to test it out, but unfortunately it got a bit out of hand and now I'm pretty addicted. It's especially bad when I'm at home, for example, because I can smoke this vape anywhere. For example, I'm watching a movie and I'm…

Hello, I recently found an abandoned rabbit. I haven't been able to take it to the vet yet, but I will, of course, do so as soon as possible! 🙂 I'm just wondering what kind of rabbit I have now, since I've only had guinea pigs and dogs so far, I don't know much about…
Hello, I have a little redness on my lip and I'm afraid it might be herpes, but I'm not sure. Can I still use the cream even if it turns out not to be herpes?

for food and equipment
and https://smalltiervilla.de/
However, if the price is too high, you can also build yourself and get inspiration there.
Where did d get your cradle?
the webside with the villas for the degus, they’re all open at the top, they can go away, right? And the cats get better, right?
Look at Voliere

Thanks for the tip
And remember, by the way, at degus, these are not animals for gentle minds.
Degus go, even if they understand each other, often very grouping with each other to fight, toss extreme through the cage and tosss loudly and similar are normal, especially in puberty.
Many people do not get clear and start to intervene because they care about their animals and then destroy the groups dynamic with bad luck.
Because just in the puberty that goes at degus until they are two years, there are VERY VIEL Zoff about the ranking
That’s why I also spoke to build up myself, and you get away much cheaper.
Pretty expensive
I’m not full-year so I don’t deserve my pocket money yet and could spend only 500 for a case
but thanks for the help
Since there are practically no truly suitable/good enclosures/cages for degus (except for a few exceptions at the Kleintiervilla, which are very expensive), we converted a wardrobe. Many other degu owners also build their own, for example, using shelving systems.
I'll link you to my little Degu homepage, which I created a long time ago: https://apologys.beepworld.de/index.htm
There you'll not only find useful information, but also see our cabinet renovation and read about the composition of our food mixes. Most of the photos are gone now; we haven't had any degus for a while, but the pictures from the cabinet renovation are still there.
As for the food, I mixed it myself. I bought the individual ingredients from Futterparadies . Here are some pictures of our third mix.
