Where else would you sit in a huge cage full of shelves and ledges other than precariously balanced on the gnaw toy?

Degu pups are so full of energy. Can someone bring me coffee? 😅
I’ve always maintained that degus can’t possibly be that fast and must actually teleport. Having pups only convinces me further.
When your food is bigger than you
The introductions between Tobias and the pups have gone really well. While they were in separate cages they showed interest in each other but no aggression, during their first face to face meeting in neutral territory Ben and Zach were both submissive to Tobias and again there were no signs of aggression. They’ve been in a cage together all afternoon and after a lot of mounting and other dominance behaviour they huddled up together. The whole process has gone smoothly, I was really nervous about putting Tobias and the pups together because Tobias is huge but he’s accepted Ben and Zach. Hopefully things will remain calm as the pups approach puberty, but at least for now things are looking good and Tobias doesn’t have to be alone any more.

Zach looks as though he forgot to put on 3 of his socks this morning
I think Zach is going to be a handful, he kept climbing up and sitting on the hay ball during the drive home
Everyone, I’d like you to meet Zach and Ben 😊
