Hi everyone! My names Tilly I just came across this forum and thought I would become a member seeing as I have 4 beautiful degu girls
My boyfriend and I were just randomly taking a trip to p@h one Saturday afternoon as we were bored so wanted to have a look at the animals because I love animals. We noticed the degus in their small little p@h cage and they all came running up the to bars, they were soo friendly and they made my heart melt they were just so cute! I think I fell in love with them there and then! As we came away from there I decided to look up about them and the more I read the more I wanted them! I loved the fact you have to be patient with them to gain their trust for goo cuddles, to me that felt more rewarding!! Anyway we rent our apartment and wasn't too sure if we were allowed to get pets but we asked anyway and they said yes to degus! We decided to go ahead and get them, we ordered the cage and all their food, treats, toys ect. And 2 Saturday's later we went to collect the 4 beautiful friendly girls (luckily they were still there) I remember walking round p@h getting a few extra bits for them before we told them we wanted to take them and other people were going up to their cage and looking at them, I was getting worried they were going to take them before us!! In my heart they were already ours!
We've had them for almost 3 months now and I wouldn't change them for the world! Definitely my favourite pet! And so happy with the way they are so tame already, they love being petted and love attention, think it's because I can't leave them alone, they are honestly my little children! #deguobsessed
I think they are about 8 months old and their names are Dolly, Polly, Patches and Stripe. Dolly and Polly look like twins but you can tell them apart from their personalities, Dolly also has darker fur and Polly is really shy she's the only one who isn't a fan of being petted yet which we are working on. Stripe has a little white stripe across her nose and head and patches has white patches all over her like a little moo cow and her toes are all different colours some are pink and some are black, so beautiful. One of our friends said they remind her of little minature dogs lol I can kind of see where she is coming from!
Anyway sorry for the essay but just wanted to say hello! I'll try and upload some photos of the girls
