About 6 weeks ago I took In to 10 week female degus. They are absolute monkeys.
In the first week Drum was climbing all over me. Chip is slightly shy and wouldn't climb onto me but not she will climb on me and let me pick her up (just about!)
I will get pictures (the ones I have on pc are old)
Drum is more grey but chip is brown!

They sound adorable, and like they are wrapping you around their tiny paws! I bet it feels like you've always loved them.

Drum is a bit more scared after the clothes issue (link above) but with patience and carefulness I will get there in the end!

Drum Is more confident today and hasn't been hiding and climbed on me so patience is the key. They still are chewing everything, including the door

I now this is a slightly old thread but I thought I might post something anyway!
Yesterday I ordered a snugglesafe, a spare cover and a little friends tube hammock thing.
Even though I payed normal delivery the snugglesafe and little friend tube hammock arrived today, even though its sunday. I walked into the bathroom and instead of sitting on their shelf like usual they were sitting on their snugglesafe! Chip was a little reluctant to move!

Tomorrow I have to go back to school (uhhh) what will mean waking up before they do. I will re heat the snugglesafe tonight and see if I can grab a couple of photos tomorrow morning if they are using it.

I didnt manage to get photos but hopfully if I settle down quicker they will.
If they are having their minor squabbles with chasing, standing on back legs ect shall I let them?

Yup . . . those squabbles are entirely acceptable, and totally a normal part of the day.
