my degu keeps making clicky noises!

[joey]

Hi all! I have had my two Degus for only a few days and they are gorgeous creatures, but one of them has been making funny clicky noises with it's teeth, often when I play with them through the bars of their cage. Is it territorial? What does it mean???

A chattering of teeth usually means that something is happening that they dont like. If it gets louder it is a warning.

...is it teeth chattering (uh oh! ) or chirping ( good )
