Pleafighting and attacking...

[jessxx]

One day, i forgot to feed my degus fresh pelet so when i got hoe from school they were very hungry. First i put food in one bowl and they started attacking eachother reircly and getting up on back legs and scratching eachother and pushing ... is this normal? because im worried i will have to seperate them, i dont want them to get hurt.

Yes!! Mine squabble and swear at each other like anything over food. I have now provided them with a food bowl each, as it's the easiest way of making sure they don't fight over it and it means they have an equal opportunity to eat then too.

They're just like kids really, they don't like to share!!
