These social rodents require spacious cages with climbing structures, a dust bath for chinchilla sand to maintain their coats, and plenty of chew toys. Degus are diurnal and enjoy human interaction but can be nippy if startled. Their specific dietary needs, including a high-fiber diet low in sugar and fat, require careful planning.  Their potential for diabetes necessitates close monitoring by a veterinarian. Their lifespans are around 7-10 years.
