The degu is such a fascinating and wonderful little creature. Only a few years ago at the mention of the word "degu" most people would look at you like you were crazy. A what?.........Many pet stores today still do not carry degus, the main reason for this is that is they are not yet as popular as chinchillas or guinea pigs or rats or hamsters etc. One of the main reasons in my opinion that they are not as popular is the lack of literature on them.
A degu is an animal that makes an excellent pet. They have many characteristics that are very desirable in a pet. They are very cute and affectionate. They are clean and do not require a very large cage and will only bite if severely provoked. Their longer than average life span (8-10 years) means that they will provide you with many years of entertainment and affection. they are truly a wonderful little mammal.
Degus make excellent pets for similar reasons to others rodents but there are some things that they can do that other rodents cannot such as exhibit advanced behavioural characteristics. One of these is their ability to recognize people, sounds and even objects. If a degu sees a person that it knows as someone that gives it attention it will usually immediately run up to the side of it's cage and stand on it's hind legs practically begging to be let out. Should you not get it out then it will sometimes squeak quite loudly. When you do get it out it usually warbles with joy, people call it "gleeing".They eat politely with their fore paws like other rodents and will not gulp all their food down in seconds. They seem to have very good eyesight and a highly developed sense of hearing. They can recognize objects and people with great accuracy and ease. If they see a person that they know approach their cage they will react instantly in an appropriate way. When they hear a sound that they recognize such as another degu or a persons voice they will also look in that direction so see who it is. As you can see a degu is a very fun little creature that has many physical and mental traits that are very well developed.
Degu behaviour is very fascinating. They are intensely hyper sometimes and very tranquil at others. To some it may appear that they never sleep because they always seem to be on the go or ready to leap. They do sleep a full nights sleep each night . They love to run around and climb and love getting otni dark, warm places. Degus are very social with both people and each other..Degus have a wide variety of sounds that they make to one another depending on their mood. If they are in a good mood then they will usually make a warbling sound that sounds allot like a bunch of short high pitched squeaks together at a very fast rate. This sound usually indicates that the degu likes whomever it is making the sound at, whether it be a person or another degu.
WOnderful social pet- must be kept in at least twos, that way they are never lonely when you are away!
