Not the most technical of people and haven't done much message board stuff before.
I adopted 4 degu boys nearly a year ago today (on the 20th of Nov) from a rescue charity. They were named after the Beatles, but not being a big fan, I changed their names. They are now Londo, Vir, Kosh and G'kar. Not that they've noticed any name change or respond to them. Fell in love with degus after being forced to go sofa shopping with a mate and rewarded with a trip to the pet shop ( I should say MANY trips sofa shopping).
Decided to adopt rather than buy some degus and they've done very well at training me to service their needs. And after a year of chaos and destruction I thought I'd better find somewhere to chat to other like minded individuals about how great these little animals are, as my friends are sick of me going on about them.

Oh you are most definitely one of us! Welcome to the forum.
Feel free to browse around and contribute if you want to.
How old are your boys? Are they agouti or patch?
Please tell us more, we won't get bored.

Welcome to the forum woodster.  Your goos have much more interesting names now.. (When I adopted three of mine, they were named "Mary, Kate and Ashley" by the local humane society. They are now named Inken, Blinken and Nod.) |

Welcome to the forum Certainly aren't enough like minded degu people in real life, it's either the glazed or pitying expression on the face of friends or plain puzzlement. I'm sure you'll fit in here Looks like you've got the hang of the forum. To post photos you need a third party host like imgur, flickR or postimage.org and then you copy the link that the says something like forum link or bbcode and paste it into your post on here. |

Mine have a plan, it mainly involves distracting me from watching tv with their cuteness and drowning out the tv with running on their wheels, bark gnawing and constant bickering. Sometimes I walk in the room and they're sat in a circle and they look at me as if I interrupted something. Definitely up to something!

Defiantly plotting mine huddle on the top shelf muttering to each other. I think they may be studying human behaviours. They are also learning to get us hoomans to come to them just by tilting their head.. it's like mind control... head tilt ... awwww have a stroke you little cuties .. over comes the hooman every time.

ROFL! LOVE IT! You . . . might want to scan the room and see if you can find tiny transmitters secreted about.
