Hello from the North East (UK)! My first 2 degus are arriving this morning ;D I am so excited! They are rescue degus. I already have 4 chinchillas - 2 grey from a rescue, 1 beige from a freeads site (who has a long and sad past but I will tell you all about that later ) and 1 beige from a breeder/accidental litter (not sure which). I also have guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits and hamsters - so quite a menagerie!! The rabbits are really my comfort zone and the pets I know the most about although I have had a bit of a baptism of fire in chinchilla health/babies - again I will tell that story later! So anyways, been reading up on degus and see that like gerbils they need their sugar restricting and like guinea pigs they can't produce their own Vitamin C so hopefully I'm pretty prepared - as with any animal though I know that you never really learn about them until you are an owner! So hi everybody and I hope to pick up some great tips and advice here

Thank you Kat most of my pets are from rescues or from situations they needed rescuing from on places like the free ad sites. Nicola x

Thank you they are settling in well, I have been looking at some of your pics of cages and feeling very inspired, so am hunting for an even bigger cage than the chinchilla cage
