We’ve moved house and Thomas and Tobias decided that they don’t like the tap water here and stopped drinking. They’re currently on bottled water which they’re happy drinking, tap water will be mixed in gradually and hopefully they’ll get used to the taste.
There will be photos again once internet is set up.

Based on what I’ve read it’s fine to give degus tap water so long as it’s safe for human consumption; if I filtered or otherwise treated the water before drinking it myself I would do the same for the degus. It would depend on the water quality of where you live. Thomas and Tobias are just being fussy, the little guys are all still happily drinking the tap water.
