So after various amount of weighing and guessing... I have come to the conclusion that Enigma is indeed pregnant so Allegra after just becomming a mother again is now going to be a grandmother as well.
However....
Her babies are a month old on Monday, or near about. I do have their birth date written down. Now I have ordered another cage and am moving around my room to fit 3 cages in here as Saphira refuses to get on with Allegra and Enigma so they have their own slightly smaller cage and the baby boys are being put in a separate cage as well but like I said they are only coming up to a month old.
Now my big cage is about 5 foot tall so there is room to have both litters in there but is it a good idea? I know Degu's are all friendly and family orientated but Allegra's litter are little monsters, they play with each other and fight with each other and are kids really. The girls will have to stay in the big cage but only one of the baby girls is really really active, its mostly the boys. So should I separate them early? Or will it matter if Enigma has her litter with the other litter still running around? I really don't want to separate the family at all but I know I have to. They just so cute all together.
So yeah if anyone has any advice it would be really useful! I mean it's possible Enigma isn't pregnant but she is so stressy and is pushing Allegra away if she tries to cuddle up, is spending most of her time in the bed and even tried to bite me which is unusual, so I think she is.
