Jack and Dave degu have a new cage now, so I took a couple of pictures of them. They love their new cage and are setting about destroying the shelves already.

Both of them. Jack's the one in the food dish. He's top degu.

New home.
They're in there somewhere if you can spot them. :lol:

They are eating carrot tops if you were wondering.

I managed to get it from a small local petshop that was closing down so it was half price. Someone did find one for me at a website called pet warehouse. If you do a search for chinchilla cage it will come up at various places.

Thanks for the comments.

They were in a critter 2 but it's really heavy and bulky for me to lift and move about, this one has a pull out tray at the bottom and is on wheels so spins round.

These two aren't very hand tame as they were from a rescue, one day I'd like to get some from the degutopia lady.

You can probably see they are in our bathroom. They were on the computer desk but as this cage is so tall we're at a loss as to where to put them at the moment. :lol: They're not right in the middle now but tucked behind the door. Made bath time interesting watching them running about.

I hadn't even noticed they were in a bathroom!:lol::lol:

I had a pair of degus 3 years ago. I have a male who i had castrated and a female but she never grew bigger than the size of a gerbil for some reason.

The male wasnt very friendly even though I handled him every day (wearing thick garden gloves).

I had to rehome them to a rehoming centre when I fell pregnant as they used to spray wee everywhere. And as I was living in a flat there wasnt any where I could move them to.

I also had a Rat which I kept and he was the sweetest thing ever. Was really clean and used to come to me when I called him. He was pts as he got a tumer on his spine and went paralised was only 1 year old as well.

I adore degus!!

They develop such amazing characters and have great inquisitive personalities.

I love chattering to them and they look at you with such a quizzical look on their little faces

Excellent cage!!

They are good to chat to. When I lived at home my Dad used to like chatting to them and getting them to bite his nails. It's a weird habit they do.

I think they have to be handled a lot as babies. Ours will walk on us but don't like to be held. I just like to watch them and interact with them on their terms. Dave bit me not long ago on my knuckle, I still have the scar and it swelled up really badly. :lol:
