Can degus eat bell peppers?

Yes, but only a little: degus can eat bell peppers. Germany’s Veterinary Association for Animal Welfare (TVT) lists bell peppers among vegetables for winter in small amounts. PDSA lists red and green peppers among foods degus can have once or twice a week.

How to serve it: a small piece now and then

Good to know: PDSA suggests a small portion of leafy greens and vegetables only once or twice a week, and the Swiss animal welfare society (STS) 2 to 3 times a week in small pieces.
