I have some really entertaining critters called Degu. They are really silly and fun to watch. I'm still learning about them myself so I won't go into the care of them but just wanted to show them off. So here are some pictures:
Degu's like to take dust baths. I bought some Chinchilla dust and put a little in a bowl and the degu had a blast! I suggest doing this outside cos' it will get extremely dusty in the house if you do it inside. I tried that once and just once.
Aren't they really cute?
When I brought them home I told my kids that they are suppose to be really good escape artist so they wanted to give them "magic names".

Degus enjoy snuggling together when they nap, sleep and rest. The are very social and seem to be really affectionate towards eachother.
On July 29, 1999, we had our first Degu litter! 3 babies to be exact! Here are the baby pictures.
At only one week old the babies are starting to wheel! I'm so amazed. They seem to develope and are very agile quickly. Here a few pics of one of the babies on a wheel.
I have more pictures coming. They are being developed as I type this...hehehe.
I always take lots of pictures.
