Alright, Today while I was at school the pet shop called and told my mom the degus are in. When we went to go get him I brought some things from Mr.degu's cage and put it in the box with him. Then I did the thing with their sand bath and I put mr.wiggles next to the cage and they started sniffing and licking each other. It was so great! I got my cam and started recording. When I get it up I'll post it asap. Mr.degu seems to act like Mr.wiggles daddy. Its so cute!! I got pictures of him too:   I didn't know babies were so cute .. |

Hi Anna
I modified your post so the photos work in that post now.
I can share in your experiences in introducing a new degu, exactly the same happened after I had had Gromit for 9 months, and then brought home a baby Marmalade. It was really amazing to watch!
Be prepared when you do put them together for some fighting. It is very hard to have to watch, but as long as it is not too prolonged or severe it will calm down, its just your degus working out who is in charge, and is natural behaviour.
Enjoy your new addition!!!

Thank you!
I'm not used to using that type of coding yet. Actually I'm really surpised there hasn't been any fighting. I have to keep them in different cages because wiggles can get out between the bars. Mr.degu is acting more like his father than anything. Hes been licking on him and cuddles up with him. There hasn't been any fighting. They really enjoy each other. Last night I noticed a major change in his attitude. I got their first few moments together on video. It's so cute! I'll post it when I figure out how.

Btw, Is it strange that the little one keeps trying to find a nipple on mr.degu?

Your new degu looks rather young, so this may just be instinct, or you are mistaking simple nudging for his hunt! I wouldnt worry, he will soon work out that he isnt going to find anything!
