After over a year of not having anything small and furry in the house i have tonight taken in two female degu's and two female Robo Hamsters. They where dumped at my mates dog grooming parlour and i was the only one she knew who could take them in and had experience with rodents. They seem good, the robo's didnt have a cage but the degus have one (think its one of those critters 3 ones, the all metal with slide out tray) which i have had to hose down as it was wall to wall with poo and black! Horrible! Anyway its scrubbed up well and has some branches, wooden toys etc. Going to get a hammock tomorrow (or make one) and they have a large rope toy that came with the cage currently drying off on our washing line after a good scrub. I have managed to find a 2ft tank for the Robo's and its filled with wooden toys etc.
Here are some pics:
My question is, i havent kept Degu's for a long while, and Robo's even longer, any tips on keeping them? I need to get some chinchilla sand for the degu's sand bath tomorrow!!
