Hey everybody.
Taz started making a strange noise again...he does it while he's out and running around like crazy whilst his brother stays around us to go nuts for oats
The video is of Taz making the same sound but in his cage...Turn up the volume cuz it's REALLY quiet,here is the link..

Taz has been beating his tail a lot as well and it seems like he likes to annoy Hodge but they don't ever properly fight they only do what seems like a slight dominance issue.

Any idea what this sound means?
Thanks :]

PS sorry the vid is on youtube, the file was too big for the

Well, that is mostly a conversational warble. Sometimes it is a friendly warning that he just wants to be alone, but it isn't by any means a nasty one or something to worry about. It is a sound that sometimes means that his emotion could go either way, bug me and I'll growl at you, start to groom me and I'll be in bliss.

He's definitely the more vocal out of our two degus tbh he's always talking away at everything but he seems happy....well i hope he is aha.
Thanks for the reply :]

My 5 make that noise all the time, usually when the younger ones are hyper and running around! I think it's just a 'go away you are annoying me' sound.
