What keep degus happy?

Degus are social animals that thrive in pairs or small groups, so companionship is essential for their happiness. They also require a spacious, enriched environment with plenty of tunnels, climbing structures, and toys to explore and chew on. A balanced diet, including hay, pellets, and occasional fresh vegetables, is crucial for their health and well-being. Regular interaction and mental stimulation from playtime and exercises can help keep them engaged and content.
