Greetings everyone, I have 3 degus for about a 2 year (2 females 1 male) and this weekend one of the females just have her first breed, and unfortunatly the only baby degu that was born died 1 day after.

The problem was, that me and my wife were moving to our new home and the degus came along during the weekend.

It's possible that the mother get stressed out because of the movings ? (there were lot's of people moving furniture and cleaning our new house)

I'm sad because of what happen, i really love my degus and i was very pleased to see the new family member.

Hope that next time everything works out fine ...

Cheers from Portugal.

I am so sorry for the loss of your newly born pup. How very sad! It is possible that it was the stress of the move and all the new things, or it could be the pup was somehow unwell. Whatever the cause, your loss is sorrowful.

I'm very sorry about the loss of the pup.

Have the male and two females been living together all this time with only one pregnancy?
