Hi. My name is Laurie. I'm new. 
I have a question that I hope you can help us with. It’s a long story, but we just found out that our 3 sisters, Lilly, Milly, and Nilly, turned out to be Lilly, Milly and WILLY. The only way that we found out, was Willy making an odd sound, we referred to it as “her” peeper getting stuck. Well, I saw on a website that what we described as a stuck peeper was a mating sound after the act. I looked closely, and it’s a boy!
I realize that we are probably having a litter or two.
Now for my question. This “peeping” took place about a month ago. Maybe 5-6 times, that we heard. Now there is no peeping at all. Do they no longer mate once pregnant? Was the sound an attempt, but neither female would go along and he gave up? I know that they are brother-sister and there could be problems. But now that the shock is over, I’m excited about babies. Is this a false alarm, or what’s going on? If age matters, they were born at the end of May, 2006.
Thank You. Nobody around here knows much about my little ones. Most have never heard of a Degu!
Sorry this is so long, but we are very new at this!
