Hello. While I am not a Degu owner, I hope to be in the future. I live in California where
they are currently illegal unless you have a special permit as a vet. or scientist and are
using them for research. I'm hoping to help raise awareness of these amazing creatures
and get them legalized in California, even if its with permit only.

Hello,
you are involved changing the legislation in California? Unfortunately in Europe we have the same thing in opposite direction: so called animal rights organisations like PETA are trying to bann any exotic pets by law.

No I'm not directly involved yet, but I'm trying to do what I can with the resources I have discovered so far. It's a shame that people are trying to ban some of these animals when they are harmless and could bring joy to people's lives.

Thanks Moletteuk. I hope so too! I'm trying to get involved with as many organizations and petitions as I can. Hopefully it will work out eventually. Then I look at how long some have been fighting to legalize ferrets in California and I get a little discouraged, but I'm not giving up.
