This is the best of the more widely available degu foods. As it's in pellet form there is no option to pick and choose favourite bits and leave some without. It is a good foundation for their diet, and ideally degus should have a wide mixture of degu-safe forage along with unlimited hay. It is not easy to supply all their required nutrition that way which is where a good pellet food comes in. Just too little is definitely just enough with plentiful hay and clean water plus the right herbs and woods to chew.
