New to all this Degu stuff. Adopted 2 females last week and having the time of my life with them. They're 4 and half years old called Tia and Maria. That's really all i know about them. Just found this forum and Degumania so gleaning lots of information at the moment.
Pleased to meet you all.

God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools. ~John Muir

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.
~Kahlil Gibran
