Degus enjoying their new hammock
Cosy degu
Me: adorable sleepy Scott! I should try to take a photo.
Sam: hello there, I couldn’t help but notice that you were trying to take a photo of someone other than me.
Are there any care sheets you recommend for individuals looking at having Degus?
I’ve tried to find a care sheet I would recommend and I’m finding that most of them have incorrect or misleading information. I would recommend these resources: my FAQs page, degutopia and degu forums such as degu proboards and degus international.
I’m happy to answer any other questions you might have.
I told Daniel I love him and he ran over, climbed me and sat on my shoulder 😄
Please reblog if it’s OK to use your photos of your pets (or animals you work with as a volunteer or professional) as art references. It’s totally OK to use mine, just please tag me when you post the art!
Last week we noticed Clark was losing weight, so we took him to Lake Howell Animal Clinic. Dr. Diaz, who is very familiar with degus, discovered that Clark’s molars had grown way more than normal (see photo of mouth). Yesterday Clark had an oral procedure done to remove a molar and file down the others. The first 4 photos are Clark right after being picked up from the vet. He was definitely exhausted and fell asleep on the way home. The last 2 are from today. He’s the happiest he’s been in a while and is back to eating normally. Yay Clark!
