Well have been waiting for 4 weeks until these babies were ready and have ended up with an older baby too ;D It was going to be 4 but the 4th turned out to be male so for obvious reasons only brought home 3! The littlens are 8 weeks old and the older one is 5 months. Only been here for 2 hours so leaving them to settle in  Soooo hard to leave them alone though  Have named them Buttons, Penny and Lolly |

Yes they are and I am now in a panic  I didn't bring home all 4 because the 4th was male....They were all living together with mum and dad but the older female is 5 months old and I have only just realised sexually mature. Please tell me she can't be pregnant?? Surely a breeder wouldn't have them all living together if there was a risk would she??? |

We got ours when there 10weeks and were in with a male and we took a chance with them. They seem okay =] Just suppose fingers crossed. Would say just keep an eye on them, but i would get some advice from others too. I've only had the girls 3-4 weeks now so am still learning too. Just built a play pen to get them to interact with us more, it seems to be working =]

Please tell me she can't be pregnant?? Surely a breeder wouldn't have them all living together if there was a risk would she??? if they were kept together there is every chance she cold be pregnant! if the worst happens, there is some information available at www.deguworld.com/articles/breeding.htm on what to look for (to be updated soon with loads more advice) |

I contacted the breeder and she was adamant she wouldn't be pregnany as under 8 months but that doesn't tally up with what I have read Feel stupid as I have researched and waited for ages for babies from a breeder rather than a pet shop. Fingers crossed she isn't but will cope if she is |
