Alice seeks a female friend 7yrs+ Cumbria

[moletteuk]

Alice is now on her own after the deaths of her two sisters, she is 7 yrs old and I am looking for a female friend for her of 7 yrs plus because I don't want a young degu giving her the runaround and I'm not looking to extend my degu keeping time.

Alice is a middle ranking degu, she's never known any fighting beyond the odd boxing match in her youth, she has a very sweet temperament.

She has a 4 tier home with a large permanent playpen and obviously I would make arrangements for a safe transition introduction period of side by side living.  Any degu coming to live here would receive the best of care, as much attention as they prefer, and we have a good local vet and no other pets.

I'm in Cumbria but would be prepared to travel within reason.

Yay! I hope she finds a pal. A lady messaged me before on preloved, she has a lone female around 5 years old - I’ve sent her a link to this message. I’ll keep an eye out for any others

Thanks. I'm hoping to get closer to 7yrs but it's good to keep options open.

Hi moletteuk,

So sorry for your losses. On Rehoming on FB we recently came across a rescue in Cumbria with degus. I guess ages will be uncertain but perhaps they may have a suitable degu or two.
Cumbria Animal and Hen Rescue (https://www.facebook.com/groups/817356218344438/).

If anything else comes up I'll let you know 😊

Thanks

This is on hold at the moment as Alice is currently very poorly.

[kimikaze]

Oh no! Hope she gets better soon!

I have a female that is about 6 and half years old. She has lost her sister and could really do with some company. Alice sounds like the perfect companion. Please let me know if you would like some more details as I am keen for Sandy to have a buddy again.

Thanks for replying, Melliemoo, and welcome to the forum. Alice is being treated for a brain lesion since I posted the ad, so it's unlikely I'm going to be getting a companion for her now. I'll let you know if I change my mind, but perhaps you would like to place your own advert to help you find another degu or find another suitable home. We did have another member in a similar situation located in Leeds, in this thread: deguworld.proboards.com/thread/22000/wobbly-degu

Ah thank you for getting back to me. I am so, so sorry to hear that. I really hope that Alice gets better. It must be really upsetting for you :-(
I have posted on the facebook group but will also place an ad here. Thanks again x
