The Trouble with Degus. . . . .

We became the proud owners of two male Degus about a week ago. We’ve never had Degus before but we did some research on the internet before we picked them up so, we had a basic idea of how to take care of them. Book knowledge is nothing like hands on experience though. We put them in our big Guinea Pig cage with lots of things in their cage to chew on. We thought they would be o.k. in there. I was looking at their cage yesterday and discovered a hole in the bottom part of the cage that’s made of plastic. Erica and I went degu cage shopping that evening as I think they would have been out by morning. They really don’t make any metal cages that would be appropriate for the Degus so we ended up with a big aquarium with a sliding mesh lid and we got an extra, heavier mesh lid to put on top to protect them and the mesh from the cats.

Degus are very social critters and don’t like to be alone. They are cute and look a lot like big gerbils. They have chinchilla type ears and they love to chew!! They also don’t like having their mate taken away even though they will mate with anybody. You can read about them at www.degus.org

If you want to see our Degus, email me at mapiklfish@charter.net with Degus in the subject line and "send me a link" in the body and i'll be happy to send you a link to my Degu photo album.

I found another get paid to click site like Clixsense since I posted last. Adbux is very similar to ClixSense but you can buy referrals at Adbux. That is, if you can find them. Usually by the time I look, they are sold out for the day.
