Hi! I understand your problem. Usually the petstore can provide you with one. It's basic and just gives you the right idea of what a degu really is. If the...

Hi Risa....interesting that you brought up molasses. I've been meaning to ask someone about it because of degu diabetes. Here's a weird coincidence....my...
