The analytical declaration is limited to crude fibre

Protein, fat and ash values are not stated for this current formula, so they should not be inferred from an older recipe or another Vitakraft product. The feeding guide is approximately 10–15g, described as about one tablespoon, per animal per day. It also says fresh water and hay should always be available. Use that labelled amount for this exact food rather than transferring a portion from another degu formula.
