Last night I was showing Mocha and the babies to my sister and brother-in-law. I was explaining how Mocha squirrels away food an hides it under their house etc. I lifted the corner of the box to look at her stash and found a dead baby Degus. I was so sad - it was a baby boy. I thought we'd be lucky if they all made it. She's so young and there were so many babies.
This morning I did a head count to see if the seven remaining babies were ok. I kept coming up with eight! There are definitely eight live babies so she must have had nine!!
With only 8 teats, it's not a wonder one didn't make it. I would have thought it would have been one of the smaller babies but it was a larger one.
Hopefully everyone else will grow and do well. So far, so good.
