pineapple juice, rolled oats these are things that I gave my rabbits when they were off feed, I raised mini-lops in the 90'.

Your question does not make much sense. The question title is about rabbits and you write something on degus. They may not eat in the first three seconds, but I'm sure they will get to eating in the first 30 minutes, so I don't think it's much to worry about.

"In the coastal and lower Andes mountains, degus eat mostly simple forms of plant life and tubers. They do not eat anything with sugar in it. Because of this they have evolved in such a way that they are not capable of assimilating glucose into their systems. It is as if they are diabetic. The best food for them will not contain any sugar. Guinea pig food is a good idea with the occasional carrot. Hay blocks, timothy hay and alfalfa is also very good for them. Sweet potatoes are good as are other yellow vegetables. I have read that potato skins and roots are very toxic to them so make sure that when you give them sweet potatoes that there are no signs of roots or skin, only the yellow stuff itself. Nuts such as sun flower seeds and peanuts should only be given as a treat, if their food has either of these in it, take the time to remove then and give a few of them as a treat once a day."

Is this a rabbit or a degus? They are not the same animal.

Just make sure his foodbowl is empty or low atthe end of the day or the next morning. Then you will know if he is eating

Your rabgus is probably okay. Try waiting 4 seconds next time.
