My Degus
I have two brothers - Depp and Downey. I got a lot of misinformation about what degus are, what kind of pets they are and what they need (especially by the pet store), but I have gained an immense amount of knowledge since then.
When I got them they were only 5 weeks old. They were very shy and I don't think they knew how to treat a degu properly at the pet store (They grabbed them in the tail D:). During the first week we saw immense changes. |
They went from hiding by the least little sound or movement to come and greet us when we walked in to the room. From staying away from our hand to never leaving it until we carefully pushed them off. They became much more active and playful as they settled down in their cage, and they are slowly becoming a part of our little family.
After a week from getting them I weighed them - about 96g each (about 6 weeks old) |
