Awesome, thanks guys I'll probs move the cage tonight! On a side note, Newt held on to my finger for balance while he was grooming--made me feel loved!

Oh, that's so sweet! I'm jealous! The most I've had from one of mine recently was a feeling of inadequacy from Scaredy. He climbed onto my lap, and I kept offering him different treats. He wandered back and forth across my lap, then climbed on top of the salt bin next to me, and dragged the cc syringe over to my hand

Awww, Scardey is such a cutie! And such a smart goo! Haha, at least he stayed on your lap for a while! None of mine will, unless I'm holding treats hostage.

I really miss having degus!! Not the mess, mind you, but I miss those massive characters in small fur coats and giant ears.

You wouldn't take on some more in the future?

My husband is dead set against them. So . . . highly unlikely.

It's times like these when we need a "dislike" button!

ROFL! Well . . . I "became" deguconvert because in the beginning I didn't want them one bit, but my husband did! Then I feel in love with them, and he loathed them. Of course he didn't do a whole lot to help with them or get to know them either, so I don't pay much heed to his bitterness. However, I also know I'll never have them for pets again.

Crazy how that can happen! Though I can totally see how degus would be love/hate pets. One bonus of not currently having a OH is I can adopt any pet I want (other than the fact that I can only have so many pets in the condo!)

Everybody seems to be settling in pretty decently. The pups have started to try to destroy the fleece lining their cage shelves...yay. Oh well, what can you do?
The pups did get into a tiff during play time today when they caught sight of the rescues, but nothing bad. They've calmed down now.

Would not surprise me if that's exactly what they were saying! Or maybe something along the lines of
Hey, I bet they're hoarding all the best snacks!

I think rescues and pups speak too different dialects! They were yelling at each other (nothing too bad, just loud) and I could tell exactly which group was making noise without looking.
So just the yelling for a few minutes after I turned off the main light. Yesterday there was more bar clanging, so this seems positive to me! And no fighting within groups. Some extra hunping done by pups, but no fighting.

They want to have a good natter! I wonder if they'll stop shouting if their cages are a bit closer together.......

Haha, don't quite trust them yet! They stopped, so no video, but it was the sort of annoyed "mehhhh, mehhh, mehhh" sound. If that helps at all!
