As far as music calming the savage beast, it seems to work for mine. I usually grab one of my guitars and play some for them when they get into real vicious...
Hilly, I would either change Vets or just show up there with my Chin. That is riduculous that they can't fit him in till Thursday...especially since he is...
Hi Hilly Well, for what it's worth, I've found the emergency vets <at least the 2 they have close to me> are pretty much worthless. They charge you 125...
would anyone know if spray millet is okay to give to degus? My degu went nuts when I opened a package for my bird but was unsure so I did not give him any....
I've used millet as a treat for my degus - they DO adore it. And it's handy because you can break off a 'bulb' or two for them. They'll also eat the bare...
Hi As anyone who have tried would tell you, they do love it... It is always funny to make this treat "almost out of reach" to keep the degus on their toes....

Hi everyone, I noticed yesterday that one of my degus is acting slowly. He just sleeps and he moves slowly. His eyes seem to be half shut when he moves. Pogo...

Oh my...I don't know what to tell you on that Niina. Hopefully one of our other group members like Norma, Maureen, Lucky or others that raise Degu may be able ...
Hi Niina... sorry I have only just come online and read your messages, and I know Maureen's computer is out of action for now. Norma could probably give you...
