I’m looking for a male degu, preferably around 4 years old, to bond with my male who sadly lost his brother before Christmas. I’m based in West Yorkshire but would be willing to travel for the right degu and would even consider rehoming our male to a loving home. Pictures below of our little lad. Poor thing is so lonely now that he’s taken to piling on cardboard  ibb.co/yBVYHV9ibb.co/jhBZs4x ibb.co/m6LDHjF |

Oh bless! Don't toilet roll tubes make a fine buddy  I know it's a bit far, but Raystede has some singles, and provide a pairing service? |

Thanks everyone.
I don’t mind going far for the right degu. I’ll keep my eyes on Raystede, thanks. There’s some lovely degus on there but not quite the right one just yet.

We’re hoping to drive up to go and see Stripe tomorrow. I’ve separated the cages just in case. Pippin’s settling in to his new, half sized cage although he’s probably not too impressed after having the whole cage to himself and probably wondering what his crazy humans are playing at now. ibb.co/9TDYYtjibb.co/KzCvPGwibb.co/kmmrtkQ |

Just called the shelter to make sure Stripe is still available before we make the journey tomorrow and unfortunately for us (but fortunately for Stripe) he’s been adopted! The search continues |

Oh no! Great for Stripe though.
Keep checking with them, I'll keep an eye out too. I'm sure the perfect furry companion is out there somewhere. Have you thought about adopting a pair?

I’ve seen another online where the owner is in the same situation as us. He’s 5 years old and I’ve messaged the owner who says we can go and see him tomorrow.
I really wanted a single male as I didn’t want any more pets after the current ones it’s just too sad when they pass. But saying that poor Pippin is on his own so the least we could do is find him a buddy so he’s not lonely during the rest of his time with us.

He’s amazing. He’s absolutely fine with coming out to us already and he’s made up with his new cage. He’s been flying all over it chewing everything in sight.
Pippin and him have been talking a lot and taken a lot of interest in each other.
Vas is a brave and friendly boy. A testament to his previous owners. He seems like he’s been very well looked after.
