Happy 5th Gotcha Day Kira Degu!

A bit late... It was the 9th :oops: Sorry Kira!

Kira is about 5 years and 2 months old. She was just 2 months old when I adopted her and her mum Milly (RIP) from a "rescue".

I went with the intention of adopting 3 males. When I got there the woman was surprised to see a baby. She thought there were two, but assumed both had escaped through the bars of the cage and died. :cry: She hadn't bothered to separate the males from the females. There was one adult female in with 7 adult males, I think.

I couldn't leave the girls there to get pregnant again. I regret not reporting that "rescue" at the time. :(

After Kira's mum Milly passed away I found two friends for her. Unfortunately the bond didn't work and Kira was badly attacked. :( She can still see and talk to the other girls though.

Happy 5th gotcha day, my special girl. Hope we have many more! :love:
 
Thank you :)

She has tooth problems and has to have a dental every three weeks. :( She has her pellets soaked in water to make it easier for her to eat.

She's a very special girl. :love:
 
Poor mite but she's very lucky to have someone willing to shell out for dentals, sadly I imagine many wouldn't bother. Degu's are one animal that I've never had in the ark.:lol:
 
She's gorgeous. :love: Happy belated birthday.

I've never actually seen a degu in the fur but they look fascinating little creatures.
