I had some nuggets in my pocket, Ben decided they should be his but he couldn’t figure out how to get in to the pocket

The person in the pet shop said that it’s best to keep these solitary
I’m pleased to say that with proper care and attention we still have only the one tribble

Cosy degus


If you can’t grow your own tree, store bought is fine

The start of a maze for the degus
It’s been nearly two years since we adopted the little guys: Daniel, Jack, Sam and Scott. When we got them we put together a cage for them using two second hand pets at home cage (those things are expensive new and just one wouldn’t be suitable for two degus, nevermind four). So. Two cage with lots of extra levels added, a huge metal wheel and lots of hiding places. It’s worked well enough, but the cage isn’t without it’s issues (such as the door being to one side of the cage which doesn’t provide easy access for cleaning out the cage) and the cages weren’t new to start with so the time has come to buy a new cage for the little guys. The cage the big guys (Thomas and Tobias) came with is the same sort of thing, but the way the shelves are laid out makes it easier to clean and the cage is still in a better condition than the cage of the little guys.
After lots of looking around and not really finding anything I was 100% happy with I narrowed my options down to the following cages:
- Liberta 2nd Edition Explorer
Rat, Ferret and Chinchilla
Cage
Midwest Critter Nation Double Small Animal Cage
Savic
Rat & Ferret
Cage Royal Suite 95
Keep reading for my thought on these cages.
