Can you feed a Degus Hampster treats?

Our hampster died and we have carrot treats that we gave him and now we have a degus and I was wondering if you can feed them to degus?
Answers:
u had better not
NO! They are basically diabetics! Oh yeah do you have two?? Degus I mean?
No, you can never feed a degu pre-packaged treats of any sort without sending it into diabetes. Good grief, didn't you read about degus and their care before you got one?? Or did you just buy one because you thought it was cute and darling? Get a book, and most importantly, read the book, and make sure you keep it entertained, otherwise it will eat you out of cages. Also, keep it on the appropriate diet, otherwise you will make it diabetic, which will in turn give it cataracts, so you will have a sick, blind degu.

Always be informed before you get a pet, sweetheart. That is my biggest pet peeve!
