Hi, I clicked the link that you posted but it comes up with an image not found message. Could you double check privacy settings/the link to see if everything is correct?

It is just a blank page, but I don't see any photo.

That's I'd say definitely a female.

It works for me? I'd definitely say the Degu in the photo is a female.
Which means, your other female got pregnant elsewhere! This means both degus may be pregnant. Your one has given birth, but your other one may too.

How long have you had them? Gestation is 3 months. If you speak to PAH they should give you free supplies and a free cage, inappropriate as it is, it may help you temporarily. If both are confirmed as female they can go back together and should support each other. You may get stress between them if the second degu is pregnant but otherwise she should help. Make sure their diet is good as she is likely young and the pregnancy will have taken it out of her, plenty of forage and seeds. See beginner's guide: deguworld.proboards.com/thread/19754/beginners-guide-degu-keeping |

They will act like "aunts" to each other's babies I believe having read lots of threads! They will like act as the missing Dad to each other's babies, be on guard and so forth. You seriously may well have another litter on your hands fairly soon if they both came from the same place.

Where is the UK are you?
We had someone else whose little 'boy' had a litter recently (few days, couple of weeks ago), I'm just wondering if its the same p@h! Even their vet missed that one.

Is there any special food I should feed they on hay with marigolds and dandelions. Blackberry leaves and Apple Twigs and Degu food.

Babies seem to be doing well and the other female is helping with them keeping the nest tidy etc. Have got a new cage from PAH if some of pups are female we plan on keeping one or two and putting the new one on top of the present one to make a bigger cage. They also gave us a massive box with food bedding extra accessories for the new cage and said I can go pick up food whenever I need some more.

Glad they're all doing well. Just need to watch the other 'boy' now to make sure he's not expecting either.
If both cages are thickets cages, you may still need extra space.

No did my research and saw the Thicket one was way too small. I got the one this one LITTLE FRIENDS Triple Metal Rat Chinchilla Ferret Cage on Stand www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GO0K80W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_5YcpybBGJH1RKPut wooden shelvibg in it and ropes and hammocks the other will fit on top and make it larger again I could also adapt an aquarium to sit on the bottom making it bigger again. |
