I know this thread is a fairly serious matter, but the degu in the first picture looks so proud of herself!

LOL @ Amie - Flossie and Alice were VERY proud of the 'improvements' they made to their stylish abode!

@ Fred, I already said somewhere that I'm pretty sure it's hardwood plywood, from what is available at Wickes and from the dark colour of the wood. It's just water based wood stain that I saw recommended once on a rabbit forum, I don't think it had any effect on the plywood, there wasn't a layer of it sitting on the top because it was more of a stain than a paint.

I agree that the thread title is maybe a bit OTT, I don't mind if a mod wants to change it to something like 'degus chewing on wall of wooden cage', or similar. I still think that checking the cage regularly is very important and not really a big deal, I think it's important to know what mischief they've been up to, where needs cleaning etc anyway.
