Degu!

When I am telling people about all the animals that I have the first thing that they always ask first is WHAT IS A DEGU???? Well............

Here is just a few pictures of my breeding pair of degu. This is Suzie and Frick. We are hoping she is with baby degu but either way shes a good girl. Degu are related to the Chinchillas and are soo cute to watch with the dust baths. They eat fresh fruits/veggies and also a mix of chinchilla food and guinea pig food. To me personally they look like an over sized gerbil.. but in the face they remind me of a squirrel. They chirp and make noise and yep guess what...they are up all night long so no degu in the bedroom...We learned that quick!!
