oinking goo's???

[TiffaLynn]

My brothers Degus have been oinking at each other, sort of a grunt but it sounds like a pig.

Grasisimo, one of my degu's lost a patch of hair, its regrown and there was no wound... she is really tame now. I think the other one wont let her drink or eat. Kinda getting weak also to a point. so i seperate them an let her pick hers first lately, (since the other one is fat and grumpy/feisty), then let the other one have hers when the other one is done with her fill.

gosh grumpy little things arent they!

If Steve is eating (he does when I first put stuff in the bowl) he will whine loudly if anyone goes near him (even sometimes at me when I walk to the bars to tell him off!) But Felix is always trying to groom him at random times of the day which annoys Steve very much. He also gets to eat fine afterwards and they're pretty much the same size.

I think mine are just as bad as each other. Felix is very noisy he chews or runs most of the day.

one of mine does what you describe emz.

when i give them their food, one goes to eat, and if the other goes near he climbs on top of the bowl, or turns his back to him, and whines.

same happens if i try and go near, he tries to push my hand away. greedy boy!

yes mine whine while they eat. The one goes of with her food/treat first, then the other goes to the same spot an they keep whineing thinking the other is going to try an take their treat.

The oinking does not take place during feeding time, but rather all the time. My brother still does not care for his goos as he should. bubu has lived up to her name. She is all scared up and looks like road kill but seems healthy and very much alive. slipper her sister seems to like to cuddle an groom with her an she wont have it an starts a scrap an then there is blood all over their cage. He ended up keepin the second pair. I lucked out with mine. Their scraps dont go that far.



but the noise is weird its like "ruuutt rutttttt rutttt"
