I want baby goo's!  I totally know what you mean, Dingle! They are a great temptation aren't they? Such steal your heart little cuties. However, much as I would love to have some, much as my DAUGHTER would LOVE to have some, it's just something I couldn't do. To do so would completely go against my convictions about not breeding degus. I am happy to be satisfied with pictures of the pups that come along occasionally on the forum. |

It's not something I would choose to do either. I would never choose to breed from a pet shop bought animal of any kind. I will never ever trust any pet shop to correctly sex my animals and will learn how to sex them for myself in future - whatever the kind of animal it is, before I get it.

i also agree DC... but in my situation (planned) i felt if i was to keep all the babies, love, care for them, keep them in a family group it wouldnt be a problem...?! chocs having that fight with chips that horrid day (23rd june) when poor chips lost his life was the most terrible thing i had to deal with, especially the fact the chocs no longer had a friend and that degus were very hard to find here in spain..i took the choice to have my own babies that i WOULDNT be rehoming, nor would be re-breeding, i have taken the responsablity to care for them, to do the best for them etc etc... i now have three perfect groups, i sware, no more babies!! lol ;D although, they are lovely  but..no more!!! i shall do my best to care for them as i do my own children...........OMG, i sound like a right idiot but you would never understand how much i love those guys...lol @fuzzymum............... thankyou sooooooooooo much..........that pic is just what i needed...lol my babies look just like that...lol earlier i let chocs have a little visit with willow and the babies...OMG he went mad, so did the babies...lol the babies even climbed the ladder chasing him ;D tomorrow i shall let him stay with them all, i really hope all is ok?! |

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to breed. I'd just be soo excited if I ended up with a pregnant girl  |

Mmm, totally. Don't think that any of us saying you were wrong to do this Nuttz, not at all. I think it was the perfect solution, possibly even the only solution, to your problem and I KNOW that all of the gooeys will be super, well looked after by you and your lovely family!
I'm still jealous of your babies!

i havent as yet uploaded any photos, im hoping to get time later today as i cant tomorrow as hubby is taking me to ikea...........shopping....lol
do i need to send you the photos in email?
as for the cage dilemma..............we went and had a look today at cages and hubby went mad, said for the amount of money they cost he wasnt happy plus they wasnt as big as we would of liked soooooooooo
weve brought a huge shelving unit like my last to adapt into a wooden cage, that last cage we built is great, lots of space and lots of full levels, this one weve just brought is much bigger and will be the home for willow and her three baby girls ;D just waiting for hubby to buy the wood, mesh etc and get building **taps fingers on desk** lol
