Hey guys.. Just thought i'd ask for some advice.. I recently posted some clear pictures of my goo's genitalia on here and also sent them to chloe from degutopia.. everyone agreed that all 4 are males!  I thought I was safe.. HOWEVER, recently I've been seeing the 2 blue goo's mounting each other and I've seen a long "thing" penetrating the other goo.. sorry for all the details i just wasn't sure if this was normal mounting behaviour? or if they are actually having a bit of woohoo time?! Thanks guys! |

all Degu's do this males and females. It's normal it part of dominance and grooming. I do hope your other goo is ok though x

Is it normal to see a long thing coming out of the degu on top and it looks like it's going into the other one.. but i'm not 100% on that and then the other goo starts squealing occasionally lol... I haven't seen my other 2 goo's doing it to this extent (although they are much older..) the 2 goo's that are doing this are only around 5 months old. Thanks |

I have male that does this whenever he can. I know that the degu he is doing it to is male but I worries me everytime. Its offputing but a part of degu life. If you are sure that they are all male, I would try not to worry about it.

Lol, I read your original post and seem to remember agreeing that they were all male. I've heard that male degus do this to eachother too! I wouldn't say its anything to worry about, just a part of their natural behaviour.

Hey guys, a big thank you for all of the reassurance!! You just don't expect them to get their thingy out every time they want to be a bit dominant lol feisty little things! |

So glad I got girlies! ;D I do sometimes wonder about my choice of 4 male gooeys. They are quite repulsive sometimes. I cleaned Nige & Stan out and when I put them back in their cage they were humping like crazy, their little tails banging on the shelf, and their whole bodies vibrating. Stanley was even making some very strange noises at one point, dirty little bug*er! And Stanley had a slightly prolapsed 'man part' for a few days and was paying more attention than normal and kept falling forwards while he was inspecting it, Nige knocked him over at one point, hehe. I was really worried at the time but the problem rectified itself and now I can laugh about it. Me trying to splodge KY Jelly onto him witha cotton wool bud...the things we do for love! |
