Corn is not that good for them for it is hard to digest. The questions I would have for you are: What kind of bedding are you using, how old were they when...

You might want to ask the vet to check his skin with a skin scrape. There are parasites like scabies that can cause this kind of extensive fur loss, but there...
Thanks Lori, I've been feeding them an ear of dried corn about once a month for several years and didn't know it was hard to digest. Their bedding is aspen...

Hello group. Yesterday I noticed one of my goos, Lullaby, has a small lump on her side. My husband got her out of the cage and held her while I looked at it...
Anne, I have had several small critters during my years and usually they are cysts and possibly tumors. Whether they be cancer or not would be up to a Vet's ...
Thank you, Lori. I have been watching her much closer since I noticed it. I was wondering about calling the vet but I wasn't sure what they could do except...
i agree with Lori hear ,as they get older they seem to be prone to these lumps i never had any of mine die with them so as Lori says if she is eating playing...
Hello everyone - My name is Kathryn from Toronto- area Ontario (Canada). I've been on this form since I got my degus 8 years ago, but have been "lurking" for...
Blindness in Degus is not that uncommon. I have a boy that has cataracts and gets around just fine. Pippy is old for a Degu and it could be that old age...
Hi Kathryn Nice to see you posting again! As Lori said, cataracts are fairly common - you'd notice that her eye (or eyes) look milky white. I'd agree with...
Hi Anne If you can handle Lullaby, try parting the fur around and over the lump, and have a good look at the skin itself. It's most likely that it's a cyst,...
Thanks Lori - we dont use a water bottle because way back when we first got her and her sister they couldn't figure out the mechanics of the water bottle and...
Hi Maureen. When we had her out I did part the fur over the lump and didn't see anything like a cut. The skin over it looks normal. I got Lullaby and her...
Danielle, I am so glad you decided to join the group. I learned so much here when I had my Goo's. I hope you can find some answers to your Boo. Feel free to...

Hi, and welcome to the group. I totally agree with Melissa's advice. Get the little guy in with the father asap if you can. With mine, Tayla handled the...
Thanks Amy. I'm glad you told me about this site. Most of the other degu groups on Yahoo are based in England. It's ok, but if I have to find a new friend...
Thank you so much. No, I did take them away from him because he couldn't keep them warm. I swear I hurt his feelings. He thought he did something wrong and...
Thank you so much. I really didn't intend to raise the degu babies. Have my hands full with the gliders. LOL. Linus was originally intended as a replacement...
Thank you. Well, I can't credit myself for this. I did humble myself and have asked for prayers from others in my glider group that I moderate. I think they...
Hi Danielle Welcome to the group! Fire away with any questions, and feel free to make yourself a folder in the Photos sections if you have any pics of Linus...
Hi Danielle In my experience, there's no reason not to put Linus back in with the baby right up till he's about half grown (10 weeks or so old.) Firstly, some ...
