Yes, degus require bedding for their habitats to ensure comfort and promote natural behaviors. Suitable bedding materials include aspen shavings, paper-based bedding, or hay, as these help absorb moisture and control odors. Avoid cedar or pine shavings, as they can be harmful to their respiratory systems. Regularly changing the bedding is essential for maintaining a clean and healthy environment.

Can you keep degus in an indoor rabbit cage?
Degus can live indoors no problem (actually, they should live indoors), but the size of the cage is a concern. Degus should live in communities -- at least, there should be two of them, but ideally there should be more than two. (Although, they must be introduced carefully; don't just throw a bunch of degus together!) Many "rabbit cages" on the market are too small for degus (and too small for rabbits!). A good-sized rabbit cage, multi-levelled, is fine for a few degus. Degus need toys and accessories in their cage, too.One person wrote: Try not to they could chew it up...
