Hello,
Just wanted to say hi! I'm new to the forum and a new degu owner having adopted Merlin and Milo (Father and Son) from Pets at Home last week as their owner could no longer look after them (although we'd been planning to get degus for quite a while).
You won't be surprised to learn that I'm totally in love with them! Milo (who is about three months' old) is a real sweetie although still a bit nervous. Merlin (about 10 months) is a real character, he has mad moments when he just picks things in the cage up (tubes, food bowls etc) and physically chucks them around! After a few days he will let me stroke him now without the vigorous (and painful) grooming he was giving my fingers at first!

Welcome to the forum!! I know what you mean about the vigorous and painful grooming. There are two of our three that will just grab my finger and start gnawing. If I don't squeak at them right away, they get even more vigorous and I end up bleeding. Sniff, sniff. Merlin sure does sound like a character. LOL! He must make quite a mess!
