Degus, Rhydowen Rodent Refuge, home to other areas

[rhydowenrodentrefuge]

We currently have three male degus, father and sons. Dad is approx 20 months, sons are 6 approx months. Friendly boys who are to be homed as a group.

Three females, approx 20 months and their four daughters approx 6 months old. Will be homed in pairs or groups.

They are in foster care in West Wales but as long as homes can be checked and transport can be arranged we will rehome to other areas. Please see our website for more details and our rehoming policies: www.rhydowenrodentrefuge.webs.com

Edited 08.11.10 - As well as the degus mentioned above we have now have 4 females (7-14 months of age and on pregnancy watch for the next 3 months) and 7 males (7 months to 2 years of age).

Thank you,

Clare

All these goos are still looking for their forever homes.

[rhydowenrodentrefuge]

The four younger females have gone to a lovely new home.

The three males and three adult females are still looking for homes as trios.

[rhydowenrodentrefuge]

The three adult males and three adult females are still looking. We do rehome to other areas so please do ask if you are outside our area. We have rehomed to England as long as homes can be checked and transport arranged.

Thanks,
Clare

Still a bonded group of 3 males and a group of 3 females looking for their forever homes. Please email [e-mail] if you would like to offer a group a home.

Thank you

Wow, you've been looking for homes for these for a while...have you considered having them moved to another refuge where they may be more easily rehomed?

[rhydowenrodentrefuge]

Yes, these degus have been here since last November. Four from the group of females were homed locally. Thankfully there has been some interest in a group - fingers crossed!

[rhydowenrodentrefuge]

We have some really promising interest in one of these groups! Still degus looking for homes though.

Hi, do you still need homes for a set of Degu's, I live in Cardiff and looking into owning Degu's. i have had rats in the past and have been babysitting a chinchilla so am a very willing adoptive parent. Please let me know

[rhydowenrodentrefuge]

Have replied to your email

[rhydowenrodentrefuge]

The degus are still here.

Apologies to those that may have been in touch about these degus previously. Please get in touch again as your details were lost.

omg, can't believe they are still with you 12 months after being rescued!

If i had the room,i would snatch them up in a heart beat xx

[clairejason]

I cannot believe no one has snatched them up do u still have them

[rhydowenrodentrefuge]

Yes the two groups are still here. Sadly two boys previously homed were returned yesterday, along with their 9 companions, including 4 possibly pregnant females So we are very keen to home the degus already posted here.

I don't get notification of replies to this forum and don't get a chance to check it very often. So please get in touch via email if interested in these goos: [e-mail]

I really wish I had the room to take some good luck with finding them all good homes!

[rhydowenrodentrefuge]

Thank you. Thankfully the returned degus and their companions are in good health. The females were separated but apparently a male got in to their cage a couple of months ago

Hi, just wondering about the females that you have up for adoption, how many do you have left and how old are they???

[rhydowenrodentrefuge]

There are two groups of females. Spring, Summer and Autumn are thought to be sisters and are all approximately 2.5 years. The degus that came in last week consisted of 4 females that had a male escape in to their cage according to their previous home. As we don't know exactly when this was they are on pregnancy watch for the next few months. So won't be available for rehoming for some time yet. They are Mum who is approximately 14 months and 3 daughters who are around 7 months.

[charlotte21]

Thank you, we are interested in maybe adopting the 3 youngest females, we just have a couple of questions;-

-How much have they been handled, are they tame?
-Were exactly in Wales are you situated?
-have you found out whether your other Degus are pregnant or not???

Thanks Lee and Charlotte
