Hello,
As I am new to Degu World I wanted to introduce myself and my two new companions. My name is Cathy and I am now the proud owner of two very lovely male Degu's called Sugar and Spice (They are the one's in my profile picture). I have been trying to convince my husband for months to get pet Degu's and finally he surprised me by getting me two just before Christmas. So far all is going well, they are settling in very quickly and already want to come out immediately when you open their cage door and are proving to be very entertaining. I thought I would create an account on here as it looks like there is lots of useful information on these forums.

Hello Cathyjones!! Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your new little furbabies!! How exciting for you!! I look forward to getting to know you! There is a ton of reading to be done here. Some primary places to explore would be the beginners guide, How to sex your degus, this forums cage recommendations, show us your cage, the food guide and all the stickied threads on the Diet and Nutrition board. There is a pretty steep learning curve with degus, LOL, However, as you have already been seeing, they are exceedingly entertaining, and are wonderful little animals, so well worth the effort to learn about.
Enjoy the forum!

Enjoy the forum! Hello Deguconvert, Thank you  There sure is, I have only had a quick look and already found so much useful information. Thank you for the recommended area I will check them out now... I have experience sexing Gerbil's (Due to being sold 3 males by Pets at Home which turned out to be 1 male and 2 females, this resulted in me having a total of 13 Gerbil pups) and luckily Degu's sex very similar to Gerbils. One thing I had already found out on here by posting a thread under the cages and housing category is that the Thickett cage my husband was sold by Pets at Home (Again!!) is no way suitable for them. So if you get the chance I would be extremely grateful if you could respond on this post if you have any ideas of suitable cages that you would recommend me to get for my Degu's. Really is very insightful reading about them, they are very interesting little ball of fluff and defiantly worth all the effort of reading through pages and pages of information. |
