So I left my house at stupid o'clock this morning only to get on the bus and get a phone call from my mum... she had gone in to check on my degus only to hear Enigma making some strange noises.
They got a torch and had a look and Enigma was giving birth!
I don't know how many babies she has just given birth to, they could see at least 3 but I haven't been able to get home and see and count yet.
But yay! Babies!
However it does mean at the moment my large cage has Enigma and her litter and Allegra and her litter, though the boys from Allegra's litter are moving out in a week into their new cage.

(Since our three are confirmed males, I can only get my baby fix vicariously through the pictures other members post. Although . . . it also brings on a lot of "why can't be get a girl and have some babies of our own?" type of questions and begging. LOL BUT I have remained firm . . . so far.) 
I was terribly worried I wouldn't be able to because... they are just too cute to give to anyone else. I am not going to allow any breeding though, not for a long time if ever, I haven't the space for any more babies!
