Does any one know if any of these three chew toys would be safe for my Degu's to have?

I'm pretty careful when it comes to giving my goo's woods and tend to stick to the safe list. It does say they are safe for chinchillas which does indicate they also would be safe for degus. I've done a little research and can't see any known harm to chinchillas as Arbutus belongs to the Ericaceae family which also includes Manzanita wood which is safe for chinnies. Its hard to say either way whether its 100% safe for degus. If you are unsure then avoid them its what i usually do as its better to be safe then sorry. If you do go ahead and purchase some just monitor them with it

Maybe you could e-mail them and ask if they know if degus can have them? They are usually good at responding
