Degus like to sit on elevated platforms. Degus can jump and run very well. In addition to a spacious cage with sufficient challenge and gnawing material, platforms and ladders can enrich the accommodation for the animals.

Degus are real rodents. The most ideal is therefore a gnawing-proof platform. An example of a gnawing-proof platform is an aluminium platform. The degus will not be able to gnaw these to pieces and therefore a gnawing-proof platform lasts by far the longest. Wooden platforms are also very popular. However, wood has the major disadvantage that the degus can gnaw it to pieces. Therefore it is important to always offer sufficient alternative gnawing material/gnawing wood. Some caution is also required with platforms with nails or staples. These items must be checked daily. When the degu has gnawed so much that a nail or staple is almost exposed, the platform must be replaced. We also have nail-free wooden platforms. These are gnawing-proof, but will still not last as long as a gnawing-proof platform.
