When I give my degus twigs the only part they’re interested in is the bark, so I bought them a bag of bark. Apparently they’re only interested in bark if it’s on a twig

Sinbad’s water bottle got stuck and needed some jostling. Alex fixed it, but I guess he didn’t want to wait for her to put it back before he had a drink.

Every once in a while, the odd vacuum and surface tension seal that makes water bottles with a stem and ball work will mess up. It usually just takes a squeeze of the bottle until it drips to get the flow going again, but hamsters can’t do that. Always keep an eye out for signs that your pets aren’t drinking. #hamster #sinbad #floridafiasco #thirsty

I’ve had this happen a couple of times, and once a degu managed to get a small seed lodged in the end so the ball got stuck.
