Can degus eat celery?

Only a little

Yes, but only a little: degus can eat celery. PDSA lists celery among foods degus can have once or twice a week in very small amounts because it can cause bloating.

How to serve it: a very small piece (PDSA)

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.
