I came across this really sweet video on YouTube whilst trying to track down more info for means. It's in German, but I think it perfectly sums up degus for those new to them. It also got a few snigger from me! |

Unfortunately, I'd translated the German text and entered it below the video, and the forum removed it when I posted.
What do you do when you're a degu?
Primarily, nothing!
If you do do anything else, you eat.
Apart from that, you run!
You can also wheel share......but three is too many.
And you have to build yourself a nest.
"man, this isn't easy..........humpfffffff...........done it!"
And, of course, EAT!
And afterwards, you have a thorough clean.
Also a favourite: burrowing.
And, of course, RUN!
Sometimes there are just too many others.
So, if your cage is big, you can also run without a wheel.
Or stay cuddled
And eat. Eating is really important!
"dumb food.........even more dumb food........."
But with little patience.
Sometimes you have to do more than just eat.......You have to fight with other degus.......and you're always nosey.
If you're really unlucky, you'll have a stupid hooman who will put food in impossible places...........and it's crap, because you have rivals.
After such strenuous work, you must.........that's right: cuddle!
And that's it. Bye!

And did I imagine it, or was the cage partly a room divider? Perspex on both sides?

OH!! That I didn't notice! I was so busy counting degus, and keeping your translation in the right part of the video that I didn't see that. Will have to watch again!!

Love it.  (Also makes me nostalgic for when I had 16 of them. Ahem – and then I remember the cleaning, the vet bills, the fights ....yikes. LOL) |

Oh! Now I want more! I already have a happy, stable group of 6, but seeing 10 living together happily... Although, I've never really seen fighting at all. My boxing is like 1/10th of the boxing in the video at the worst and I see that like once a month.
