… why are you drinking upsidedown?
I’m so sorry for your loss. I haven’t lost any of my degus yet so I’m not in a position to offer any advice; I dread the day it happens.
Can any of my followers help with how to deal with the loss of a pet?

Love the dust pod, whered you get it?
I bought the sand baths on ebay, you can find them if you search for ‘enclosed sand bath’. It’s good at containing sand, not so great at containing the blue cloud dust that my degus prefer, but it’s still less of a mess than something open 🙂
Oooooh, that design of sand bath would be perfect for my gerbilly people too. I found this one on ebay using your suggested search but they only include the overall dimensions – I don’t spose you could measure from the bottom of the hole to the base for me please?
It’s 9.5cm from the bottom of the hole to the base 🙂

I love the little food squeak degus do. They have this particular squeak that they use for “we hear you, can we have food now?”. They do it when they hear me get up in the morning and when I get home if I get in a bit later than usual. Occasionally they’re cheeky and try it when they know it’s not food time, once after I’d literally just finished feeding them.

Although their common name is degu, their scientific name ‘octodon degus’ actually translates to ‘little mischiefs’.
