What can I train them to do?

[Rachel]

My girls are only young still but I've hit a mental block about what to train them to do? I think Mali would be much more receptive to it.. Bu still hasn't got past the nibbling my finger stage.. but then she's not trying to bite me properly anymore so that's ok.

So I'd like some inspiration really, What have you taught your Degus to do, how did you do it, and roughly how long did it take?

Thanks for your time

That is a really good question for one of our members here by the name of Spookymuffin. She has done some very cool things with her goos. They come to their names, play fetch with a piece of wood, return to their cage on command, and a few other things that I can't remember right now. I believe that she used the reward system with little treats and such, but I really don't know how she went about it. Hopefully we will see her on here soon, and you can ask her. You could always PM her, too!
