Hello to all :)

[Charmed Paws]

Right, now I have sorted my avatar out, I will introduce myself.
Hello my name is samantha and my life revolves around my pets and animals in general. At the moment I have mikey the degu, rocco the gerbil, emily and meg the guinea pigs, misty the rabbit, lucky my rescued gold fish, a tropical fish named billy (only 1 left due to sad circumstances :-( and a border collie rescue named toby.
My pets are my babies and they are all very spoilt and get put first before anything.
Ive never joined a forum before but thought it would be nice to chat to people about degus as everyone I know either isnt interested in animals or doesnt know what 1 is lol.

Hello Samantha,
You got nice family there. Welcome to the forum.

As you probably heard, degus must be kept in pair of groups. Could you bring friend or two for your little mikey? Introductions can be quite tricky sometimes but single degu will be more than keen to have a friend, making introduction easier. How old is your goo?

There is loads of info on forum especially on feeding and housing, you will find everything you need to know to keep your guy happy If you have any questions, just ask.

Hi Charmed Paws! I'd like to welcome you too. My animals are also my (and my husband's) "babies". My goal in life is to provide a good forever home to as many abandoned pocket pets (I adopt from the local animal shelter) that my finances and time can handle. That's how I got started with degus (just last June) and, like you, this is also the first forum I ever joined and am active on. I'm not usually very social but I feel comfortable here.

And, yes, this is certainly the place to chat about degus and to meet other animal enthusiasts. ;D
