Hey everyone, my name's Daryl and I am the owner of 5 degus, 4 boys in one cage and 1 girl in a seperate cage (I know the girl shouldn't be alone but I rescued her that way as her cage mate died and the 4 boys are a more recent purchase). I have been meaning to find the time to sign up to a couple of degu forums and thought today would be a good day as I had an issue with one of my boys but I have put that in a different post. Hope you are all well. Daryl

Hi Daryl! Welcome to the forum! Have you thought about getting a friend or two for your lone female? Maybe a neutered male or another female?

Welcome to the forum, I am only up the road from you in Walsall. How has the female been since her cage mate passed and how long ago was it?

Hi all, just to answer a couple of questions I have considered a friend for my female degu but unsure how well it would go and don't have enough room to have another cage if it doesn't go well as i already have 5 cages. I'm not sure how long my girl has been on her own as i adopted her. She is a lot happier now as when i had her the wheel was far too small and she had maggots in the cage and she is still very nervous but she does like to be fussed every now and then when it suits her.

Hello Daryl and welcome to the forum!! Sounds like you have lots to take care of. Are the four males all in one cage, or are they also in separate cages? If they aren't, what else do you have? We all seem to have multiple pets here, and love them tall. It is lovely to meet you!
