My Degu ate some blutak

[alexw1982]

Naughty Pele ate a tiny biy of Blutak he found, about the size of a pin head, those pins with bigger heads. I tried to get it off him but was too late, it was stuck to his teeth but soon disappeared.

He has since groomed his bro and had a treat...

Does anyone think i should be concerned or should it just pass out natuarally and not cause any probs.

He's quiet now, but that is quite normal post playtime, and grooming time with Diego (...contary to last post on a different thread they fell out again after 6wks and we've started again with re-introductions...)

I can't be much help with this, but Personally, I think I'd call the vet and see what they say about whether they need to see him or not. Just to be sure

He is now still seeming perfectly fine... I'll keep an eye tho, had a £40 outlay last month when i thought he'd hurt his foot, by the time he got out at the vet u couldn't even tell which leg was poorly and he escaped down my jumper.... So this time will monitor him b4 getting too worried and paying lots of money!! Thats money best spent on treats...

I think you're just as well to do that. Such a tiny amount shouldn't cause too much trouble . . . but I can't say that with authority. It's not something I have experience with.

He seems perfectly fine still this eve. Panic over!! all degu unfriendly bits removed from the play area!!
