Hi Julie,

We haven't managed to home any, and we are on a waiting list to home them at the rescue centre. We actually think we have 7 boys and 6 girls. We only wanted to keep 2 girls really but if you only want 3 we will keep the third. Then we will only be taking the boys back to the store, so at least they can't get pregnant! Pets at Home have said they will take them into their adoption centre as it was their fault the situation occurred in the first place. We didn't want to do this but have no choice. We will however ensure they are sexed correctly and check their habitat etc before we leave them. We have already removed 5 of the boys out of the main cage so we don't have anymore unwanted babies. The others are due to be seperated on wednesday and we will be taking them to the Pet store for adoption. It is very sad as they are so adorable but it would not be fair to keep so many and after having one male neutered I don't think I could go through having 7 more done let alone the cost!
Are you already a seasoned Degu owner? We would prefer to drop them over to you so we can see their new home. Our son is quite upset that their going back to the pet shop and would be happier to see them go to a loving home. Please reply before weds 26th as they will be leaving us then.
Please email me direct at andsam@clara.co.uk so we can have a chat.
Many thanks
Samantha
