I post pictures of my Degus on other forums and people say things like; "Is that a rat?" "what breed of mouse is that?" "eww they are rats" "Is it a guinea pig" I thought people on this forum would appreciate my precious goos :3 Enjoy the mass photo-dom.


This was when I first got my cage for my adult degus. They had a smaller one when they were babies. I have since then lined the bottom of their cage with kiln dried pine wood.


He's peeking :3


This was pretty much the day I brought them home 4 years ago. I had to replace the plastic with wood very quickly. I wish I'd read the book BEFORE getting them but never mind luckily they are all healthy


This is Dougal - the Adventurous one.


Henry - the chilled out one


Dylan - the timid one

They're beautiful! I've never had degus. What are they like?

They were handled from really young so they are really friendly. They destroy everything, I have to check everything before I put it in there cage right down to if the ink in a cardboard box is toxic. If you hand train the properly they are really tame, mine sit in my hand and sleep sometimes. I've been bitten once because my degu managed to get wedged between the wall and a box and he didnt like me freeing him They have to have special diets because they can get diabetic but apart from that they are no trouble at all.

They actually make quite good pets.

awwwwwwwww there so cute!
we dont have degus here in australia that i know of...........
