Important Update (Octodon Degus)

How to build a degu cage website: http://octodondegus.weebly.com/

To answer many of the pms I have received these past few months; No I have not died and yes I still keep degus : )
I have been very busy on the Degu and Chinchilla World Forum, updating my website on Building Degu Cages, caring for my degus and tropical fish, working full time and you know...life.

Yes, I will be uploading more degu videos soon.
Thank you for all the kind comments and messages, I appreciate.

Hey(: I might be getting some degus soon... 3 actually. I don't want to breed. Should I get all girls or all boys? people tell me if you get two males they will fight.. are they right or wrong?

Btw will they be scared of my dog barking?

and can the be put into a hamster ball like hamsters? thanks xx

@InnerStarrr

Males get along with each other as well as females do...however the adolescent period (6-18 months of age) in males can sometimes be quite lively (lots of squabbles and bickering).

Yes, loud dogs, noisy birds or other disruptive animals should be kept away from the degus...especially if the degus are new to your home and not used to such an environment.

No, a running ball is totally unacceptable for degus. It can cause them trauma and health issues related to stroke/overheating

@beauquetarabian They are bonding animals, they will adapt with one another quite quickly.

Hello!

my dog managed to sniff one of my nervous degus and straight away he started to squeal and hide in the corner. It shocks the others and I went to stroke him to calm him and he did the same thing. Please reply and tell me what I can do
