He's an absolute unit.

I knew it was you!

I had 2 of those cute things

I had 3 degus in my life. They're absolutely adorable

@M1sf3t dogs usually wanna chomp the degu, but the degu does not care. It'll just smile, sniff and be friendly - even in the face of possible death :3

Tbh I don't really know how cats react.

That's a cute rat-squirrel-capybara-kangaroo-thing.

Omg
I see a degu and my heart jumps.

I've had Degus for like 12 years. They are adorable. Especially the baby ones 😍

My experience with them:
* they like playing in sand pits
* they like playing with turtoises 🐢
* even my dog played with them (without eating them)
* they even kill their uncles and aunts if they did not see them for a few years and they 'come back' (territory defense stuff, my dad just fucked up there)

@Emphiliis that's really cool xD did they also pee on you when you had them on you for like the first month? Mine peed a lot. They don't anymore. 🤔

Edit: we had to separate them because they fight.

Also bonus pic:

@c3ypt1c somehow they never peed on me oO
But on my friends a lot, somehow.

We had a lot of small ones, because we had 3 females and one male (that had a lot of fun).

Well, thanks, now I am thinking about getting new Degus.. 😍

In the beginning i had only 1 of those. But the shop clerk said that it will get lonely so we bought him a friend.
Plot twist they sold us a female and we had to return her (quickly) because of obvious mating signs.
So after getting him a male friend everything was ok but after a bit of time (years, months?) then they nearly killed each other....
We had to separate them.
One of them (the first one) was alwaysb sleepy and bored, he never cared about anything he always wanted to be undisturbed. (We played with him anyway :D ), he tolerated that. The other one had always big eyes and was always scared. He was running away when he have heard anything but he was the cute one. He was curious as well.

I always beat myself because i think i didnt take good enough care of them... That is why i dont want to take care of anything.
