Everyday Food You usally feed a healthy degu a guinea pig and chinchilla mix or degu food (but it is very hard to find!). You could just do one or the other but together is the best. NO SUGARS. NO FRUIT. make sure to read the ingredients on the feed packages, some feeds for guinea pigs and chinchillas have mollassas, corn syrup, or other fruits. try to make sure they also have few veggies, as some have natural sugar(be sure to check!). Make sure you degus have plenty of Timothy Hay, as it helps them digeset everything and they love it. Treats they can have seeds/nuts, but only once in a while (about once every 2 weeks) because they are high in salt and fat. no fruits...some fruits are okay, but I wouldn't take the risk of giving them (degus are VERY sensitive to diabeates.... and they can't digeset sugar.) Veggies are okay sometimes. You will just have to find out what kind your degus love. As for mine, they love sweet potatos (With No Skin... it can be dangerous for a degu). I feed my degus braches. They love to chew on the bark. They escpecially love apple tree braches. Here is a very nice site for all of your questions http://www.degutopia.co.uk/

Do raccoons eat cat food?

Raccoons are drawn to cat food, so don't leave animal food or water bowls outside. Always have your animals come inside to eat their meals. If you have raccoons in your area, then your cats should be inside all the time because racoons do attack cats and small dogs. Some raccoons carry rabies virus, and some raccoons have parasites in their feces that is fatal to humans, especially kids.racoons will eat pretty much anything. trust me, cat food would be a great treat for them. i live by them, and they will eat my trash if I dont put it into my garage.True! At twilight, I put out fresh water and a cup of very high quality dog food we feed our working dogs (much better than regular cat food). They far prefer this to killing and eating our barn cats.racoons will eat pretty much anything. trust me, cat food would be a great treat for them. i live by them, and they will eat my trash if I dont put it into my garage.True!
