Can you bathe a Degu in dirt?

Degus should take their bath in Chinchilla Dust. I have found that putting the dust in a container such as a glass fish bowl, or a container that will keep the dust from flying around. My degu's usually put their garbage into the container after taking their bath. They know I will change out the container. They are so intelligent. This dust keeps them clean and keeps the skin clean of oils that build up.

Do rabbits eat dirt?

To them it's their way of life. It's not like they go home and and have built-in bathtubs. Rabbits don't bathe in dirt, really. Some animals take dirt baths, like sparrows for example. Rabbits make burrows in the dirt to live in, and they lie down in dirt on hot days because the dirt is cool, but they don't bathe in dirt. Rabbits groom by licking themselves and each other.

Can a dagus live with gerbils?

I'm assuming that by "dagus", you mean "degu". It's pronounced "day-goo", but that's how it's spelled is 'degu'. It's a cross between a kangaroo-rat, and a gerbil. A kangaroo-rat isn't a kangaroo and a rat, it's just a type of rat just like a pitbull is a type of dog, not it's own species. A degu is a fussy animal. If you get a degu at a very young age, you can put another degu in that young from another litter, or the same litter, but they tend to bond with the owner, and don't want to share attention which is why you don't want to have a degu for a long period of time, and then put a baby, or full grown degu in that same cage. Although a degu is part gerbil, it's not a good idea to put a gerbil in the cage with it. Degu's are feisty, and just want attention from the owner. You can do this if you'd like, but I have the most friendly degu, and she was very, very aggressive when even another degu was put in her cage.
