Cage setups

Jack, Sam and Scott live in a liberta explorer cage which is currently divided in two while Scott is being reintroduced to Jack and Sam after some fighting.

Ben and Zach also live in a liberta explorer cage. Tobias and Daniel each live in a cage made of two pets at home cages. Zach and Tobias love each other, but unfortunately Ben and Tobias don’t get on, so Zach visits Tobias during the day.

Daniel lives alone because he fights with everyone (despite being the biggest sweetheart with humans), he’s aggressive towards all other degus and gets lots of extra attention from the humans.

All of the cages have lots more shelves than they came with, a wheel, hammock and plenty of hiding places.

Are you really sure you need more hay??

Sam has had a bit of a nosebleed for the last three weeks, there hasn’t been much blood but it’s been fairly persistent. He first went to the vet a little over two weeks ago, he’s been on some medication (anti-inflammatory and antibiotic) and today he’s been for an x-ray. They weren’t able to see anything obvious and the vet said that his mouth looks really good, so it’s not looking like dental disease at the moment but it’s not entirely ruled out. 

Another x-ray machine is being installed at the vets soon which will have smaller plates. The new machine will show more detail so hopefully after another x-ray we’ll know what’s going on. 

The vet didn’t sound too worried today, but I still have no idea what’s causing the bleeding. In the meantime Sam is still behaving like his usual self, he’s eating and drinking, and his weight has been consistent.
