Who this list is for
This checklist is for pet degus that need a regular home sand-bath station plus a tidy rotation of safe chewing items. It keeps both jobs in one practical setup.
How to use this list
Fill the covered degu sand bath container with degu-safe bathing sand from the airtight sand storage tub, using the fine-mesh sand scoop. Place the dust-catching floor mat underneath. Stock the chew rotation storage box with untreated apple wood sticks, kiln-dried pine chew blocks, a woven grass chew ball, and cardboard chew tubes. Keep Timothy hay in the hay holder.
Common mistakes
Do not use unidentified sand in place of degu-safe bathing sand. Avoid leaving the bath area messy between sessions; the handheld vacuum, paper towels, and lidded waste bin make reset work quick. Do not offer only one chew item indefinitely when the list provides a rotation storage box and several listed chew options.
