First time posting here. I have to stress this is not a joke. I have a single male Degu with a large enclosure for him. He's got all the essentials. He's very friendly; he'll come to the front of his cage when I come in the room. He loves to have his chest and ears scratched!
Anyhow...I'm going to be as scientific as I can about this: I've observed him performing fellatio on himself. My girlfriend and my father have also seen this.
Is this common? Has anyone else observed this? Do Degus in the wild demonstrate this behavior?
Thanks

hi hun, this is totaly normal, please don't panic. Male goo's do this to clean themselves, but some go a little to far. I know it can be a bit disturbing, when you first realise what they are doing, but, its what they do xx

As Nicky said it is a perfectly normal grooming ritual that can sometimes result in him being pleasured  |

I was quite pleased when I 1st saw one of my Goos doing this - it confirmed he was male!!!!
(bloody hope the girly goos don't have them anyway!!) Although I panicked everytime after wondering if it was the same Goo! - so I had to make a mental note which one I had 'seen' Hubby wasn't so impressed when I finally said one night over tea - "oh by the way - Torres has had his toger out today - panic over"

ROTFL @ Lorrainekuk!! Oh my! Have I been laughing!! Only because I did basically the same thing with our three boys. However much I was certain that they were all male, I didn't fully relax about my ability to determine their gender correctly until I had witnessed them ALL do the dirty deed. Poor Snug was the last to accomplish this and I felt so badly for him when he finally got around to it. He . . . well . . . didn't stand up straight . . . had a rather noticable kink mid length that bent him over about a 90 degree angle. AWAY from himself. I watched him try to stand the thing straight for a few seconds, and then had to leave. It was just too pathetic. And besides . . . I wanted so badly to laugh and didn't want to embarrass him any further!!! The poor chap!

This thread has made me laugh so hard, brilliant. Having two girls I haven't witnessed any of this... not sure if i count myself lucky or feel I'm missing out!
