Thanks so much Maureen! We're going to feed them 50/50 chin/gp food, and I'll be sure to check the labels! We have lots of unsprayed apple branches with the...
Thanks muchly, Ilene! We have chin pellets to mix with the gp pellets, but there are some big pinkish lumps in the chin food. I pick them out, and am going to...
I would check to see if they are legal. Sugar gliders, ferrets, hedgehogs and anything exotic is bad there. I raise sugar gliders and know of a person who not...
My boyfriend and I adopted two degus from the pet store at the weekend. We were sold a cage with a plastic base, which they had chewed through within two days!...
Hi Rachel Firstly, welcome to the group! We're a very friendly group, if a little quiet at the moment - where is everyone, I wonder? Pet shops and cages -...
Thank you for your reply Maureen, I forgot to say I am from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, UK. So the TDA is very useful to know about - and use! Thank you! Rachel...
D'uh . . . .TDA? Sorry, my brain's not in gear tonight! Nice to see another Brit in the group - hopefully Norma will pop in and say Hi before too long, she's...
Welcome Rachel! As Maureen said, welcome to the group! It is VERY QUIET these days. Everyone I guess is very busy and a lot of people from across the pond...
oops, how could I forget shreddies? They LOVE them! Degus will do anything, even overcome their shyness for the right treat . . . . The other thing I forgot to...
Hi Judy Charlene sent another post, saying she's by Erie, Pennsylvania. You could also email her direct if she's close enough to you. When you say you have one...
Hi Maureen, I'm located way over on the Oregon coast. I don't know how well she would ship & it probably would be cost prohibitive anyway. Too bad, but good...
Hi Judy! The shelter where I volunteer, Greenhill Humane Society in Eugene, Oregon, has two degus. We're pretty sure they're males. I'm not sure of their...
Hi Amy, it's Charlene, in Pa, who's looking for goos. Judy's in Oregon, but she's looking to rehome a single female, not get more! Confused? I know I am, LOL. ...
Hi I have been raising degus for 6 years now, death comes after 3-4 years old. I feed my degus chinchilla, quinea, and rabbit food. Lots of nutrients, there...
I know a lady who had a degus live to 11 years old. Her other female was still going at 6 years. She fed them an all vegetable diet. My oldest are two brothers...
Degu's can live past 10 years. I believe Norma had one go past 10. I had one that lived to 9 1/2. Good quality food and hay and easy on the treats,and they...
Hiya, and welcome to the group. Went through that with the plastic cage myself, fun adventure recapturing them! I've never heard of degu nuggets, so cant...

Hello As you know we bought our degus last weekend. Since then we have been feeding them Degu Nuggets and fresh hay. In that time the little one has become the...
I think a lot of the growth is done in the first year, but I have a pair of 2.5 year olds that are still smaller than my 8 year old, so I think it slows down...
I forgot to say, since the smaller one (Chip) has grown bigger, he is always trying to pick a fight with the other one (Dale). I think perhaps he is trying for...
Hi Rachel The tussling you're seeing does sound like dominance issues, and suggests they ARE the same sex! All my male goos did this at one time or another,...
Hey Bob Nice to know you're still with us - you've been SO quiet, I began to wonder where you were! Don't worry about knowing where we all are so you stay safe...
