It's been several years now since I've last been on and I thought I would have a little nosey around I have four degus, Mel and Houdini that are now 6 years old, bought from pets at home. Sadly these are getting on a bit and both suffer from eye difficulties (eyes keep closing over) I then have Nic and Charlie who are three years old and are part of Mels litter from a few years back. I'll try and get some pictures up tonight

Hey Krazypara! Welcome back to the forum! Glad to hear Mel and Houdini are still about and doing relatively well.

Well, I'm sad to say that a few weeks ago Houdini sadly passed. She had go to the point where she needed frequent eye drops and was constantly unsteady on her feet. Thankfully mel, is doing a lot better now. She's had no issues with her eyes recently and is managing to keep up with the younger ones! Yesterday I managed to pick up a young piebald degu, a gorgeous little white one with a brown head and a white stripe running up her nose. She's currently in the cage below. I've had them all out in the spare room and as of yet they don't seem fussed by each other..... That said I will be switching cages each week for a few weeks with supervised playtime in the room before I move her in with the team

Thanks,
The pair had been in and out of the vets and she checked the teeth which were ok.
TBH, I need to read the introduction page properly I've been going from outdated information that I used 4 years ago. the cage is actually one big cage anyway but it has a hole to get into the cage above which has been closed off.
Nope, not checked the sex!!! (schoolboy error) but ill get onto that tonight, not planning on putting her in with the rest for a while anyway.

I am so sorry about Houdini's passing. I am sorry for your loss! Glad that Mel is doing well, and perhaps somewhat improved. I hope the new little one will make a healthy and very well bonded addition to your crew.
