Daniel hanging out in a sleeve while he eats
Degu being awkward about how he wants to be fed: hey I don’t make the rules, I just eat them
Some silly habits my degus have:
– wants nuggets broken in half even though they ate them whole last time. Now any whole nuggets will be taken and buried for later.
– no, not that half nugget, that one was broken in half this morning, I want one that’s been halved now.
– nuggets are weighed out in separate, identical bowls but I don’t want any nuggets from that bowl, but I’ll take them from any other bowl
– I’m hungry but will only eat if you feed me while I’m in the cage. Yes, I know I ate outside the cage yesterday but today I’m not going to.
– I’ll only eat nuggets after I’ve had my pea flake.
– nuggets offered from a hand are better than nuggets in a bowl.
– I’ll only eat if I’m in your hoodie/dressing gown.
– I’ll only eat if you’re holding me.
Me: *trying to clean the wheel*
Degu: *jumps on wheel* silly human, wheel is for running not for cleaning
I love when degus run away to eat in a corner so that the others can’t get their food but they all go to the same corner
Who’s a clever boy? I don’t know but it’s certainly not Sam who’s trying to tidy the hammock away in to the hammock 😂
Oh look, it’s Jack. He tries to get in the bin every time I clean out the cage. Sorry if you forgot about some food you buried, it’s rubbish now.
The world according to degus
Not scary: thunderstorms
Scary: hiccups
Not scary: vacuuming
Scary: people at the front door
Not scary: being in a car
Scary: cars going by outside
Not scary: me sneezing while they’re sat on me
Scary: me pushing up my glasses
Thomas and Tobias were sat in my lap and I asked them to jump up to my shoulders – they took a moment, looked at each other, swapped sides because they were the wrong way round (Tobias will still only sit on my left shoulder) and then jumped up.
Sam, the reason the nugget doesn’t fit in your mouth is because you still have one in there
