Ahh yes I remember you saying that the father had died. It was just the cage swaps that have happened since the birth that have confused me, I just wanted to make sure the groups were as shown or whether they had changed from your signature. I do think a list with just a brief description of ages (if known) and a list of who has previously been together/will not go together may help

She is in with Lola and Gusgus, who are both helping with childcare , Gusgus is not the father, he is castrated, he ended up with Lottie and Lola after his brother attacked him and had to be separated, and he settled well with them.

He will be doing an excellent job as father though! Degu males are amazing fathers and a very good influence on the pups. The fact that he is already neutered means that you don't have to worry at all about any pregnancies and can just let him pitch in and help with the rearing and training of those little clowns/rebels. They have an excellent start to life!!

He is being excellent, he does a lot more babysitting than Auntie Lola. The babies are doing great, weighed them today and at 6days old they are all between 21-25g, really adventurous and active. Mummy seems to be doing very well, due to her being young I have been worried about her health, read some horror stories, but she is doing fine. Eating well and still very active herself running on the wheel etc. So health wise I am pretty confident everyone is doing fine. Still need to do some more adjustments to the cage so that the babies can get themselves up and down between levels now they are more active, we were originally focused on keeping them restrained to one level and safe there, but it's clear they can already get down to the level below but atm an adult has to carry them back up to the floor the nest is on as the steps are too far apart.
