Hi, I'm new here (and to the Degu world). I recently purchased my first Degus (2 little girls), and have done all the research so I'm not entirely clueless... XD I just joined here because I might need advice in the future, and it would be cool if I could eventually share pictures I take and stuff.
...I never know what to say on introductory forum posts.
Um, I suppose a bit about the Degus... XD (I've only had them since yesterday and already I can see a bit of their personality!)
Well, Venus is a blue Degu (well, more a silver than as dark as I've seen blue Degus get) and she kind of has little white bits near her face XD She is a scaredy-Degu... not as brave as the other one! She is very jumpy, and mischevious >.> (I will totally share THAT tale in the 'Degu stories' section of the forum... little fiend XD) Yeah, she is very jumpy. But that is to be expected as I only got them yesterday!
(Apologies for size and quality!)
Petrova is an agouti Degu and she is definitely braver. She has been running on the wheel, running around, and had a chew on a monkeynut I gave them XD (They can't have another for a few days now The lady did say that they're high in fat so you can only give them one as a special treat every few days). She also yawned last night and aww it was so cute D: Yeah, anyway XD She has been out more than Venus and unhid herself before Venus.
I can't wait until they're not scared of me anymore, I don't like making them jump XD But I can't help it, they are unused to this. And they only came into Pets At Home on Thursday, and I got them Saturday... so they're probably wondering what's going on!
Anyway, nice to meet you all :3 And I look forward to becoming a regular around here (I'm hoping XD)
