difficulties in providing suitable housing for degus? Finding suitable housing for degus is tougher than it is for other small mammals. They need plenty of floor space but they also don't want the enclosure to be too high to get to a ledge. If the degu takes a fall it can lead to some very serious problems. Ladders are also not usually a very good idea as degus could easily become trapped. Plastic should always be avoided with degus as should wire cages as degus will easily chew through the wire
