hiya i'm just wondring if we have any degu owners on this page!

I used to own Degus!! Do you have any? They are fantastic little creatures and I really miss mine.

yeah he has a catarc now he's five and he's so friendly and loves to play!

Hi, Just joined today. I have two three year old girls (Jana and Anna)
They are great fun and a little bit of a handfull.

well wlecome to pet forums!!! mines a handful i only have the one though because the rest of the litter used to bully him so he lives by hisself but hes a really happy degu!

Have you got pictures please peepz

yep that's right but my 3 squishies (rats!) are much bigger than him. my degu actually reminds me of a squillrel

I don't own them but my girlfriend does! One little girl called Willow and three boys, called Pippin, Poppin and Squeaker (I believe! As they can't tell them apart very well anyway )

Funny story I could tell you about, its rather rude too though When I was at my girlfriend's house, sleeping over for a few weeks, we were all in the living room chatting. Her boy's degu cage was beside the living room door in the kitchen and her dad was standing beside that door, which the chair I was sat in is. Anyway! We were chatting and all of a sudden my girlfriend calls out in the room "put your willy away!" and because her dad was standing beside me and she was looking straight at him, I thought she was talking to her dad! lol! I was so shocked I spun round and noticed one of the degu boys was cleaning his willy and we all burst out laughing! lol! There's definately NO mistaking which is which gender! lol!

ive never seen them in pet shops round here, just at rabbit and cavy shows.
how big should there cage be? are they slightly bigger than hamsters?
