* Degu is not eating, not interested in food. May be lethargic.
Loss of appetite: Various reasons. If degu is otherwise asymptomatic, cause could be mouth trouble such as infection or bruxism (see mouth section), or bad food.
Maintain good cage/feed hygiene. Check your degus teeth regularly for broken/loose teeth or signs of infection, ulcers and molar growth. Discard feed that has a musty smell or has been stored in the open/in a damp environment. Monitor degu that is not eating for other potential symptoms.
This is a biggy!!! if you have a degu and its a male but looks pregnant GO TO VET EMMEDIATLY as it could be a rupture bowel as my friend found out the hard way. Please note though I and even another thought it was a pregnant female :-(...our thoughts are with you T.K.
