I have only known about the existence of degus for a few months now, and yet I'm totally in love with my 2. Everything they do is just the best, and they have so many sprightly behaviours.
I wanted to make just a nice poll, and find out what you guys like about them. Any others, please post the behaviour you spotted!
FYI - I did see there's a research page, but thought it better in here, because I think that's for a bit more serious stuff.
Have a good day/evening/night all!

I have to say, the getting comfy, followed by the big yawn with the front paw stretch, followed by sucking their teeth. Then I know that they are really comfortable!
Dixie doesn't do much popping these days, he's 10 on 1st May so is more than happy with a slow amble. Reggie who'll be 3 on the same day, still races all over the place though.

Spidey has provided HOURS of entertainment on here with his mammoth hunter/gatherer antics. I have to say, though, that the record-breaking activity by Spud, Snoozy, and Sneaky to successfully unroll an entire loo roll in one piece across three levels directly into their nest in under half an hour with coordinating squeaks is up there too!

It's a kind of cross between a tooth grind, a suck and a smacking of the lips.

When they get offended that you offer then a treat when their mouth is already occupied

Or when you've made cc for one of them, but they ALL appear with their little noses at the bars.

Creamer will get a treat, then hide it in her mouth or paw, then come back, as if to trick me into thinking she lost it... and that I will give her another. Sad thing is, I've fallen for it more often than not.
