Hi, I'm new here but thought this would be the best place to come to try and find a suitable home for my two male degus. We rescued them last August when they were 7 weeks old and they were in such a tiny cage so we were so glad to give them a huge cage and a happy home I am now 25 weeks pregnant and after alot of discussion with my husband, we have decided that they deserve alot more attention than we are able to give them at the moment. We've been going back and forward with this for weeks, but we know it's for the best. They are lovely boys, very tame and friendly and love to have a run around the living room! They adore eachother so would have to be rehomed together. The only time they fight is over food, which I've heard is normal. Their current home is in a converted wardrobe. It has lots of layers and platforms along with lots of toys. In the bottom there is a big tub which we fill with hay and shredded paper which is where they burrow into to sleep. The toys on the picture have changed slightly since this picture was taken, and there's now a big wooden bridge in the top layer. We are happy for the cage to go with them. We also have a small cage for transportation. We live in Flintshire, North Wales (just outside Chester) and are happy to transport them to you if needs be. We are not looking for any money for them, we just want them to be loved. Thanks for reading

These boys are still looking for a new home. I'm due in 12 weeks and would really like to have them rehomed and settled before then. Please ask for any more info

Aw, that's a shame We're actually heading down Portsmouth way this weekend or sometime next week, so won't be a long way away from you. I'm not sure if it's too far for the degus to travel though. I'll have a word with my husband and let you know.

I am in the Meon Valley, that is en route to Portsmouth but it would be a long journey for them

Definitely let us know, we're hoping to go away for a couple of weeks asap (before the baby comes) but want to wait until these guys have found a home first. Let me know how you get on, I'd be made up if they could come to you
