Change in dominant goo

[malteser60]

I was just curious to see if this has happened to anybody else. I have two girls, Cinnamon and Nutmeg. When I got them last June Cinnamon was the dominant goo, and, as far as I knew, always has been. I always assumed Cinnamon came out on top mainly because Nutmeg was always the smaller of the two and was blind when I first got her.
However yesterday I was watching them during playtime and at one point Nutmeg repeatedly mounted Cinnamon, and did the whole dominance thing, of which Cinnamon happily let her. There was a lot of the happy talk as well, so there was no scuffles, etc. That really surprised me as I was sure Cinnamon was always the dominant one.

So has anybody's goos swapped dominance? The only thing with my two is that it has always been difficult to see who was dominant as they are very equally matched. But they never fight. They just seem to love each other loads.

It's normal for dominant degu to be fluid, it's all about who wins in scuffles...and the scuffles aren't always brutal, it's usually nothing more than playfighting/wrestling to determine rank. These things happen, sometimes due to sub degu getting stronger over time, sometimes due to dom degu getting weaker, sometimes dom degu gets bored :-)

Our boys have swapped the role about as well . . . but when Reep wants it back, NO ONE stands in his way. LOL!
