Guys he's only mad because when they find something they love they really try and claim it and even if another degu was near him he would be doing the same thing. He wants that ball for himself!
This Degu is just into somekind of a protecting playing mode. My degus always have fake fights about some things. But next time please don't give him a plastic ball.
At first, I have had one Degu. Then my parents saw how poor it was. So they decided to buy another one. And this one brought a baby within its stomack. ^^
i do the exact same thing to my degu lmao, They can be so greedy over their food... The guy it barely even TOUCHING the degu, they can get really angry and territorial over their food, even if you just put your hand in their cage
xD my chubbies would do this, over a single peanut (either shelled or unshelled) not to mention baby carrots. all out war in there.. lol so cute :) ty for posting.

you are a freaken doghs bag i hope you go to hell you are abusing animals i hope the animal protechtion angency or whate ever there called and i hope the bite you to deth
he is not being cruel at all the degu is being posessive over his toy, mine do that to each other when they are eating. it is also impossible for a degu to open its mouth wide enough to bite a finger off even when its yawning that doesnt happen.
Hi! Can degus live alone? I've noticed a lot of people have 2 of them, would they be able to live alone in their cage? Also, do they get along with birds? It would never come into contact with my parakeet, just be in the same room. I heard guinea pigs and parakeets get along really well because they like to sing to each other and neither can harm each other intentially. Is that true for a degus??
I let my pet degu live with my pet snake for a while. But one day the degu was gone. I don't know how he got out of the aquarium. I guess he didn't like the snake & left somehow...
I have 3 degus that came from a house where they were attacked by a cat so they hate contact. Ive had enough bites to know a degu wouldn't be able to bite any of my finger off, even when they hang off your hand by their face.....
I agree, I don't think its cruel. At the end of the day a degu would react the same if another degu was there, in fact my two do the same thing to each other!! They get annoyed easily and the fact that he doesn't get bitten shows its not too serious. Its just playing!!
It's not cruel.. Degus are slightly possessive and get irritated easily. The word "cruel" is used way too freely; cruel would be taking the ball away and not giving it back, cruel would be hitting the degu etc etc.
Our degus started acting strange 3 weeks ago, & became more & more aggressive, prowling around the house after dark. We woke up one night to our cat yowling. When we found her she she had been hunted down & killed by the degus. Now all our bedroom doors locked at night, & we keep pepper spray by our bedside. We can hear them moving around the house, knocking things over & making those angry vocal sounds that degus make. We just lie still & pray for daylight to arrive.
@poetxG4 Mine also do this. My mother and father have already left us. I have found that leaving traps and poison only makes them stronger. I fear for you. Please pray for both of us.
well for 1 a degus mouth isnt big enough to fit around your entire finger and second i seriously doubt a degu has enough jaw power to bite through the bone in your finger.
Ohhh, please!!! he is not doing anything bad to the degu. If you have a pet you have to interact with him, he is not hitting, pulling, or anything like that. The degu is grumpy, maybe, but that is that!!!
@slog63 True! There is plenty of time for the degu to have bitten if it was seriously upset over this. He is a really beautiful animal, by the way! ^_^
let the little critter know ur there so u dont seem to be a predater and dont go to the back, work the head then go to the back with strokes hope this helps and be calm dont yank ur hand out so quick either that scares it more
My degu does this if you try and pet him when he's eating. I think it's mainly just marking territory, but still dude leave the poor critter alone when he/she does this, they're obviously upset.
so cute, I love to take toilet paper still on the roll and unroll it some, they try to put it in their hammock but cant figure out why it keeps unrolling, and they get really mad at the toilet paper....lol
Calling all degu experts, I need a little medical advice, can you watch my video Prozac Isn't Feeling Too Well? If you know what's up with him, please, I'm begging you, message me! He has me worried.
You should have a minimum of 2, they are very social animals and can get sad and depressed if they don't get the love and attension they need, Thats what degu-experts advice..

From what I see, I don't even think he's harming the degu. All he's doing is probing it here and there, and moving the white ball around.
I don't see any harm or torment in that. The degu is merely territorial and annoyed, but I don't see that it's in pain and agony.
