Ok, please excuse my feet in this video, but it was too stinking cute not to share! I submit for your viewing pleasure: An ode to Q's obsession with toilet paper, titled "Not all heroes wear capes--some wear toilet paper!" youtu.be/0DpalJHALCY

Bless him! That's really cute! He's pretty sensible - my lot would run up the ramp blind, usually running off the side because they can't see where they're going.

I think him tearing a viewing hole was a lucky accident, but it clearly worked out for the best! Haha, he didn't quite fall off of anything, but did originally try to jump into the cage--while still standing on the ends of the toilet paper. It did not go well! Thanks DC I just had to share the joy!

R O F L!!! Funny what things degus do that make us feel accepted. Once I knew what that meant . . . I felt the same way anytime one of our new degus, or pups, peed on me. SO glad that isn't the case with all animals! We'd be perpetually sodden and stinky! Can you imagine what public transit would be like??

We all need a bit of validation lol!

I grew up in a household with dogs--would NOT have been pleased if that's how they showed affection! And oh jeez, public transportation doesn't need any more smells, haha!
Hah, I did feel validated Molette. I almost texted a friend and realized...this is not something non-degu people would get...

My dad used to sit watching TV in the evenings with one of the guinea pigs on his lap. There'd come a point when they'd start wriggling, and he'd tell them off. Finally,one of them had a wee on him. Had to point out that the fidgeting was probably their way of saying they wanted the loo. After that, they got to sit on a tea towel on his lap instead. He was too lazy to get up and swap piggies when they signalled it was time to go!

I was thinking of our dogs and the cat as well, Hpdegus!
Over 30 years ago when I was still living with my parents, we had a toy poodle that had deeply bonded with me. She was with me everywhere I went. Then my youngest sisters cocker spaniel had puppies and she talked me into buying one. So I did . . . and the day he came home, my little poodle jumped up on my lap and watched him walk up close and just as he neared, I felt a tiny little warmth on my leg. She gave him the full toothy, but silent, snarl, holding his gaze for a full minute. He turned around and went the other direction. As he left, she jumped down and went to lay on the couch across the room. I looked down, and there was a wet spot on my leg, just slightly larger than the head of an pencil eraser. I had been MARKED and DECLARED!! He never crossed that understanding. They were both very bonded with me, but he knew his place was beneath hers.

Hahaha, love both of these stories! Bouncy, not sure I would choose to let a cavvy pee on me if they were giving clear signals but that's such a great story Love how possessive your toy poodle was DC! Glad that the new puppy figured out his place so quickly!

Hah, just had a Lion King moment! I'm sat in the play area with the rescues. Tom was chilling on my knee when Q just pushed him off! The look on Tom's face as he scrabbled to stay on!
*no degus were harmed, the fall was maybe 4 inches
