Fresh Herbs and Plants for Degus

You can easily and quickly order fresh Degu Herbs at DRD Rodent Shop ^®

Fresh Degu Herbs are not only tasty, but also very healthy for your Degus! Degus will often find fresh herbs even tastier than dried herbs. Also, during the drying process, some components can sometimes be lost. Fresh herbs are therefore by far the healthiest for the animals.

Build up slowly

The fresh herbs are supplied as a living plant. The plants can be placed in the animal's enclosure. If the Degus are getting a certain plant for the first time, it is wise not to offer the entire plant right away. The new type of herb must first be introduced slowly. For example, start with one leaf. Then keep a close eye on the Degus to determine how it reacts to it. Pay particular attention to the feces. If the Degus seems to react well, the dose can be increased slightly every day.

Where do our fresh herbs come from?

The fresh herbs come directly from the grocer! For that reason, the herbs are not always available in their fresh form. Each herb has its own moment when it can be sown and harvested, we keep a close eye on this biological clock, so when the fresh herbs are there, quickly grab them and let your animals enjoy them!

The herbs are grown especially for consumption, so they are organic.

Storing fresh herbs

Unfortunately, fresh plants are a bit more difficult to store than dried herbs. Each type of plant needs different care. One type needs more light and water than another. Some plant knowledge is required for long-term storage of fresh herbs.
