[jemapenny1993]

I'm getting two degu's soon and I cannot wait. Even before I have purchased them I have bonded with them really well and they're so playful and friendly.

[owrelee]

[Karoll2006]

best pet ever :)

[sounds73]

@Karoll2006 I agree. I have 4 Degus (boys). I love them! They make me laugh every day. Watching their social life is really interesting! Beside that: they are soooo cute! ;-)

[3SnakeSolid]

How long did Stich live ? Because i am curious and also have one degu ! It turned 3 before 1-2 months

[limegreenowns]

@3SnakeSolid Degus live a really long time compare to other rodents, so you still have a good 5-6 years left if yours is three now.

[carnifex190]

OMG TOO CUTE I WANA HURT IT COS TS SO CUTE

[Ufo2231]

Degus reminds me of squirrels :D they jump like squirrels. Run like squirrels and they are so cute! :D

[Jazzzzles14]

OmG he is sooo cute!I want one!Too bad they are illegal in california.But still i would get one!

[jordski123]

@Jazzzzles14 why are they illegal in california?

[limegreenowns]

@jordski123 Because if they where to get out they would be able to survive in the area.

[IvaIvaIva555]

this is so cute. i have five degus. ther're all like LET ME OUT when i look at them in my cage.

[LuvFearlessly]

Haha I want one but wish they lived longer :( I don't think I can stand putting anymore down. But I'm getting a Chinchilla in a few weeks and he's going to be named Stitch, too :)

[MsAyame38]

That is so cute I love Degus I miss mine <3

[xenonnati]

[ioana6500]

OMG...its just a baby and its so smart !!! i also have 2 degus ;) good luck !

[DillonAWeek]

[ioana6500]

@DillonAWeek It's not important...lol...My degus have 1 year and a half...I buy they when they had 1 year...

PS : sorty for my bad English...I am Romanian...

[DillonAWeek]

[kimmi118]

[mrsmelodyful]

meine schwester( ehrlich)

leider ist das degu schon gestorben :( Aber coll nich? Das war das jüngste von 6 degus und auch das cleverste :)

[Spearel]

I can't wait to feed my boa with a degu... :)

[uhhenrik]

@Spearel bastard

[Spearel]

@uhhenrik jus' kidding :D

[volkscom]

i like Degu poop, it so tiny, & not mushy at all. I sprinkle them on my daughters cereal. They're actually a good source of vitamin B12.

[FromHell175]

I adore Edward he rules >D although he's psycho killer and kills my hair D<

[metheodora]

@badasshg hey,maybe he wants to be a hairstylist??? :P

[Amy199able]

Haha, I had this video uploaded onto my zune.. For like 4 years now!! Haha.

[PotterYouRotter7]

sadly my degu is alone :c he doesnt seem upset about it. but i do want to get him another one. i just dont know where. they dont sale them at any pet shops where im from. and i havent been able to find a breeder

[warcraftaz]

LOL when i let my degu 4 a walk he Runs away At Bite Internet Cabel

[SuperStarHilaryDuff]

where do you buy those??!?!

[cleedrulez]

aww so cute i want one

[MrMarienas666]

this is realy cute he make me smile he must be fighter not a losser =D look at the description in video he/she not alone and they could do nicely with humman companion. but if you dont have much time you must buy company for degu i have allmost all book how to treat them

[notdeadyet10]

That's amazing that you have tamed them so well. I haven't heard of a Degu before today. :) They're adorable!

[SeanScot36]

I live in Scotland and saw Degus for the first time in a pet shop this week, I thought they were nice.

[Jonasvalgo]

Wow she died at the age of 2? That's pretty young for ad egu. Was it of natural causes?

[samantha3310]

Aw, She Is Soo Cute.

Sorry About The Lost

[annmarooroo]

i have a degus and they can be very shy

[christodoulidesgun]

how long did you have this little guy for?

[9degu]

i wish mine were this clever. i have 3. im sorry to hear about the loss. R>I>P stich.

[BratzyPetshop]

I have two degu too i love them soo much they can be ,,free'' in my room :D

[sonicboom2885]

ur video fails.

[Elizabethanddegus1]

Soo cool and sweet :)

Check my videos ;)

[ShawtyDaDrPepper]

nom nom nom.

[itekSa]

degu is very pretty!! =)

[SBizarre]

cute :) i want one!!

[n1les]

Can Degus eat alot of dandelion leaves? plus what other plants can they eat please?

[haasy2]

@n1les they can also eat: carrots, salad, a little bit of apples and on the rare time mine will eat pumpkin

[116jewel]

@haasy2 Degus can become diabetic very easily if fed too many fruits and sweet things. So make sure you don't feed them too much!! :D

[MrJonas333]

yes but you must be careful because the old degu will fight with the other degu you must They slowly get used to each other

[Montux2]

I only have one degu by his self can I add a degu the same age as hime to his cage

[watchutuman]

@montux2 It really would be a bad idea, depending on the age, if they are over 12 weeks, i would strongly disagree, as i have 3 degus, all added at different times, and i have to keep them in different cages due the fighting.

[6789Lilly]

thrashtastical, you need 2 Degus or more. But never 1 alone.

[116jewel]

@6789Lilly My Degu, Duggy, is alone because his wife died (were not sure why) he was a little depressed for a day but then we put the hamster cage beside him and he's been perfectly happy ever since, very healthy, friendly, can be VERY noisy when he wants to be taken out of the cage lol Duggy also has a special squeek when he wants a treat! But I think 1 MAY BE acceptable depending on the circumstance, because Duggy is the happiest rodent I know!

[thrashtastical]

do they need to be with other degus?

or can you just have 1?

[Nateb123]

2 or more. They're social animals and the more the better. Otherwise they'll be a bit less balanced overall. They might still be affectionate but then they'll be demanding and clingy. Or they'll go the other way and get truly mean and distant.

[Sicman522]

the Degu is like Nom Nom Nom^^

[Freeekiii]

hahahahah:P nice

[card969]

aww shes cute

[godrocks211]

i got 2 sisters, how did u get stitch to do that?

[DarkSoulsOfTheNight]

i used to have a degu as a class pet when i wuz i teh 5th grade

They awesomezzz.

we had 3 degus and their name was alvin simon and theodore

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS ROCK

[Mistle8]

Stitch rules !!

[LaFee92]

oh im so sorry thats shes dead, but u have beatfull memories, videos and so on. my are dead too, now i have three. shes is/was cute ;*

[JadyEmy]

How do you teach them to turn?

[cookiemaster888]

Love degus. Mine listens to msuic with me. My degy likes piano music.

[RavishingRedheadd]

its very cute.looks alot like a gerbil only degus has larger head,nose and eyes

[xantara2]

I have two, One is grumpy and the other is fast, they make a great pair both females does anybody else's argue over bread? Haha

[KFMviewer]

I have a pair of males and one is more affectionate and chill than the other haha. yeah mine gripe a little when I hand out treats, but they've stopped bickering for the most part.

[sabakyuugaara]

I can't wait to get some Degus :D

[BunzSudz]

That is the cutest thing! I had two degus. They were great fun to watch and they make the greatest noises.... sounds like a flock of little birds.

[looie4]

r degugoodimthinking of gettin 2

[Strangesausage]

It's not that clever, most degus can eat.

[MsYuriMcFlurry]

The degu's clever for the twirling it does to eat.

[bobthened]

stop trying to kill this degu

[arcanaXx]

dont you worry about them running away?

[gothgirlsunited]

RIP stitch

[TheMattmejevie]

oh cool

[TheMattmejevie]

I think thats harsh teasing him/her like that, and nightwisher is right they should be in pairs or groups. :(

[123acx89]

mm thats a cool trick tell me how it works

[voksdugmedpletter]

he is amazing and is having fun and being stimulated.

[dogakamaru]

so cute and smart someone has to train degus to dance like that 1

[NudaVeritas]

so cute :)

i'm about to buy 2 degus very soon. i cant wait to have them around!

[tileyw1ck3d]

So cute

[tokajlson]

They are so cute! :)

[dienoob08]

lol i wish mine were this talented, i have 4 but there all retarded. all they do is chew wood lol. sorry to here about the loss. </3

[DillonAWeek]

@dienoob08 hey wat age should the degu be wen u get 1

[zigzagzom]

i'm am deeply sorry about your loss......a couple years back i lost my dwarf hamster.....his name was gerby its really hurt when he passed away because he knew me very well....sadly they only live up to 2 years...='[

[Ferretdude1277]

Beautiful, talented, awesome... such great dancing as well :) I'm truly sorry for your loss :(.... your little one is waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge :)

[blabla66613]

I just got a degu, it's super cute!

[NightwishRaven999]

Thats sad, they should only be kept in pair or groups.

[blabla66613]

Indeed, so I learned just after I'd bought him. The store clerk was nice enough not to tell us this, the basatard.

[NightwishRaven999]

If yours is still alone, you should really get him/her a companion. These animals are not made to live alone : (

[Scorpinox666]

You can't even spell the name of the country!? I'm sure most people would rather live with Degus than you!

[Alexabix]

Bad spellers make terrible flatmates.

[SasoriAndNejiRock4ev]

i have 2 degu's both males. ive had them 4 a while

[yowiepet]

my one's going to give birth any day now, most petshops dont want them as they arnt very common.

[cocopops149]

i just bought 2 males on Tuesday = ]

[sprajo]

they live 5-6 years i have 2 male and female and just yesterday i got 5 babys:)

[cocopops149]

5-8 but if ther healthy they can live up to 10 the highest recorded age is 13 but thts unlikely

[alkafrazin]

In captivity. In the wild, I think they've found ones that were upwards of 30 years old. They don't usually live that long, but it has happened.

[Adribaby18]

I love degus very much,i have got two degus.

[animallover520]

where can you buy degus

[declans1fanforever]

Adopt.

Just phone around, Look at Kijiji.

I got mine (now deceased) from a man; his daughters used to know me in our elementary years, and we got them for free.

But yeah...Just look around.

[Tinkerbabe2466]

im sorry about your lose but how lon do they live bc im getting one

[Alien606210]

I only recently got two baby degus (six weeks old) and they're are very adorable and intelligent. I'm so sorry for your loss of Stich. But, where ever Stich is at, you can always hope she's happily dancing :). RIP

[wwesouthpark13]

i really want a degu as a pet someday

[NightwishRaven999]

Degus should be kept in pais or in groups. They are extremely social animals and many of them dont do well when kept alone.

[LadyValentine69]

My degu's alone, mainly because he was handed into me as a rescue animal and is now too old to pair up, and he's fine :)

I just have to get him out more often lol.

[BritneyAngel07]

ouu that´s just soo cute :)

[Zelda2002]

I am sorry to hear about poor stitch. How old was he/she?

[HabkeinenNick]

Stitch (a "she" by the way ;) ) wasn't that old... about 2 years.

[Zelda2002]

Didn't notice the dancing queen part of your video comment my bad. She was a real cutie. :)

[snake172]

@HabkeinenNick 2 years!!! i hope you arent misstreating them, they dont just need lots of love.

dont feed them sugary foods or they will die very early. i got mine when they were just 2 months old, 8 years and still just as active as ever!

[Quoggy]

Stitch was a beautiful Degu, and very clever. We have two Degus and neither are as talented. RIP

[PinkFloydZeppelin]

Why did you eat him?

[BathoryGrey]

I am so sorry to hear about Stitch passing. I've been watching this video over and over for months now, and just noticed the RIP.

My heart goes out to you, it's hard losing a loved tiny degu.

[HabkeinenNick]

Thanks for your sympathy. I know Stitch does well in "heaven" ;)

[miniclipplay]

my hamsters both died and i know its sad im sorry about that but any animal should get sympathy from humans and hes got mine so sad

[Killenmachine05]

how big do these guys get

cuz i really want one but i have a cat

any advice?

[Crazydaisy555]

aww very cut :)

i have two degu and im thinking of buying them a new cage does antone have any good cages they can recemend?

[neverdoubtn8ives]

chinchilla cages are pretty sweeeet!! My degu's LOVE it!!

[boredbody]

I have to say, that's quite possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen. Not that I would ever want one for a pet what with their sensitivity to sugars and propensity towards diabetes and all the ill effects of that... I really hope this cute little critter is never sold at 'normal' petshops like petco and petsmart because it's definitely not an animal just anyone can take care of properly.

[fire22923]

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.

[fire22923]

that is so adorable!

[awlawla]

i once had a degu, very tame too, but she died an early dead. poor her :(

[ThatReallyHyperKid]

my degu is that tame

[catroolz]

wow thats incredible!

[chickenegg69]

how do you get such a tame degu

[softskyarms]

The only thing about rats as pets is that they have a different sleeping pattern to humans whereas degus don't. My rats wanted to be very active and play during the night, when I needed to sleep! Seems a shame to keep them in a cage and bored when they are most active. I ended up staying awake with my rats and not keeping them in a cage.

[candianjunkie]

My degu, Gary, was $15 and he is adorable. I make little blanket mazes for him and they are soooososo ,much fun and definately worth it :D

[ryan098098]

were did u get him from. I love degus!!!! can u get them from petsmart or petco????

[6327isc]

Now, I've been seeing Degus sold at every single local pet shop around here, first for very expensive but then really cheap. What I want to know is - Are they worth it? I've had Gerbils and rats, but.. Are Degus any better? They sure are beautiful and cute!

[sexyGAMERps3]

i have a degu he is lots of fun and u can train them, they are very easy to maintain, but for the first couple months they can be pretty noisy at night. I would recommend getting a degu only if you have enough time to spend with it, they are very sociable.

[spongya77]

They live longer than rats, and pretty darn intelligent. Do not get only one, though, unless you can spend a lot of time with it.

[degus4ever]

Human company never replaces the company of other degu. It is a good idea to get two or more. Of course, some degus never like other degus, but it is rare and then you should play with ur degu daily all the time

[degus4ever]

damn, my computer doesn't let me write REPLIES!

[EpicureMammon]

I've raised an untold number of rats and had a couple of degus. I have to be honest that I didn't like the degus. They were very noisy, not as intelligent as the rats (I don't want to get into an argument, that is just my experience) and were more timid than curious. I could treat my rats like small cats (letting them run free-- they'd come when they were called, though), the degus I kept like... I don't know, if they got out, they just hid. Ratties have tragically short lives, though :(

[junglejamzx]

Yes, I agree with you, EpicureMammon - I love my little Degus but I think they have behavioral disorders because they are extremely timid and just won't warm up to me. I can't let them out of the cage because they run away and hide. They don't even stand up on their hind legs like normal Degus. =*[

[caal911]

Im getting 2 Degus tomorrow. How'd you teach it to do that?

[ryan098098]

good luck with that......... I hope u really enjoy them. I really want 1 but i dont know were to get one at. I live in the U.S and was wondering if they sell them at petsmart or petco.

[Supercushion]

you can have them sepparately, you just need to make sure it's in a very used place in the house, and you take it out of the cage and play with it lots. it's reccomended to have two, but one can be fine is you care for it correctly.

you have a really cute degu..m mine used to go mad over carrots, well it was my sisters, but she gave it to me.

[sk8tergurlforeva101]

ilikemagic52 i have 2 n u dont see me complaning do u i love mines to death i have a boy n a gurl my other 1 just passed away yesterday it was like 5 years old anyways stop complaing!!!

[pwnpower]

That's awesome. Teach him some ballet while your at it! =)

[deathguy24]

i love my degus but they still havnt gotten used to me, they bite me if i try to pet them
