The look like the offspring of a chinchilla and a gerbil if such a thing were possible. Absolutely fascinating critters. I have to my hands full with my current ensemble of critters but I would love to keep these some day.
I think his cage is awesome compared to all the other people on TH-cam that have way smaller cages and less equipment for the degu to use. By far best cage I've seen
Ohhh!! So cute. We have 3 goos and the same type of running saucer, but slightly bigger. I love watching them run on it, with their widdle booties bouncing so fast and cute. Best twerkers and pets.
Balding at breeding time can be because one degu is trying to mate with the other even if they are both males. I had this happen a couple of times the more dominant one pesters the other one. I found once breeding time is over (late winter to early spring) it normally grows back.
I wish I had done more research before purchasing my degus, because I listened to the pet store and bought the wrong type of habitat for them. Pet stores will tell you ANYTHING to sell you stuff. They should know better because they're dealing with live animals. That's what gets me angry. And so I recently purchased one of those Critter Nation Model 162 for my 2 degus and they love it. The habitat is very roomy, allowing them to run, climb, and jump. They get tuckered out and sleep in between playing. And of course I have an exercise wheel in there as well.
DodoDawg for example we have oné degu too because she was growing up really alone in petshop.And it s better for her but she has many love from me and my family i love her😃
having seen this on Gerbils it's either boredom of incompatible Degu's , with Gerbils they didn't entirely like earch other, but they'd tolerate each other. They do like to interact with um you. Degu's are also nocturnal so if your waking them up during the day too much... who knows
Heh I'm the 1000th like. That's never happened before. Degus kinda look like the love child of a guinea pig and a chinchilla. They seem like nice pets though I've never seen one in a pet store before.
Need to oil that saucer. Probably better though to get an actual large wheel. These guys are too cute, I want a couple lol. I've always had gerbils, hamsters, rats, and hedgehogs. I've never heard of these before.
I love your cage but the noise from that wheel would drive me crazy! My degus just have a metal wheel which is nice and quiet :) I need to add branches like yours though!
One of my degus, Ernie, has the same bald spot. This is due to my other degu, Bert, fur pulling. They had a stressful past history and I am not suprised this happend. Alas, they are both on the mend, living a stress free life now with plenty of room to run around and hidden treats to forage! Check out Degutopia about fur pulling....good tips!
Hi chick pea love you so much for the first time in the morning and evening entertainment for the message and occasion making it a bit like that and I am not going to be very grateful for any damage caused by the end result
I had one Degu and he was very lonely. When I bought one more Degu, he was very happy and attractive. I think it is better if you have two Degus. (sorry for my eglish) :)
loving the flying saucer wheel, gonna replace my standard wheel with one of those. Looks like one of your deg's has had some hair shaved on the top of it's back? Was that for an in injury?
Did you construct the cage or buy it like that.I am possibly acquiring two little ones.Someone is getting rid of the parents and the two babies.I don't think I can take on all four.We have 4 cats and 3 hamsters already.I really like your setup though.What cam are you using it's so clear :) thx for the upload
That spinning plate is not good their backs. They run in a curve like position which will damage their backs over time :) The one with missing fur looks like a hybrid of some sort ? :P
Lol they are so cute! especially when they sniffed the camera -3 and their wheel is really loud lol :P Btw Random question: where did you get your cage?
What size of home is ideal for two degus? trying to find out all I can about them as I am thinking of getting two. They are such adorable little creatures 💕
I would suggest going to Degutopia. It's a great site. On it, you will find information telling you how big your cage should be for what amount of degus.
Hello Lifeextract, I was wondering is it possible to train the degu to wee and poop in the toilet? I'm planing on getting 2 but I don't want them doing it all over the cage, any advice you can give me will be great.
You should definetily get another one, or maybe even 2 or 3. Degu's need company and they're a lot more fun to watch in a herd. Just don't mix male and female or you will have more of them then you like to very soon ^^ I'm getting degu number 3 and 4 for the same group early next week ;)

LITTLEMUSTANGFILLY Yes, it’s a very good idea to ave degus, they’re the cleanest rodent available as a pet. They’re very timid but sm
@@margueriteginn4479 not the cleanest, but close. First place goes to gerbils
So cute!! Thanks for the inside look
they are both adorable 💖 they're like a combination of all my favorite rodents, in 2 little packages... super cute
I think his cage is awesome compared to all the other people on TH-cam that have way smaller cages and less equipment for the degu to use. By far best cage I've seen
No, its bad. But ye some people have smaler cages but its still bad becouse the degus get hurt by them selfs buying small cages
just because you’ve seen worse doesn’t mean this is good lol
Nice cage set up for them and homemade exercise wheel!! 😂 So cute!!!

Very cute. I would recommend getting a slightly longer cage for more floor space and hang ropes and fleece hammocks. Like rats they quite enjoy these.

i especially love that bubbling sound they make to eachother :)
they talking:)
I have 3 female Dégu 😍 it's so cute to see then talking together 😂
Sooo cute!I have one degu named Cookie,and he is very playful!
that is a good and cute name
you cant keep degus on their own, in the wild they live in large groups
DodoDawg for example we have oné degu too because she was growing up really alone in petshop.And it s better for her but she has many love from me and my family i love her😃
lol GEEEEZZZ that wheel is LOUD.
yeah
Well degus are pretty loud
We used to keep pet rats and thought they were noist. Oh but they are cute. And that noise is adorable. Just wish we had the space
this camera quality is amazing for a video that came out in 2011
Hey I would to suggest a running wheel instead of disc
You need a larger cage, the baldness you see on the back of your one Degu is called barbering and is due to stress and boredom.
+Torie Polywoda Poor fellow
+Torie Polywoda well at least he was kind enough to get two thats the main thing the noise might be stressful. oil the wheel :D
having seen this on Gerbils it's either boredom of incompatible Degu's , with Gerbils they didn't entirely like earch other, but they'd tolerate each other. They do like to interact with um you. Degu's are also nocturnal so if your waking them up during the day too much... who knows
+Lee Bartholomew Actually, they are one of the few rodents that are NOT nocturnal.
As Christine said, they are not nocturnal, but they can become nocturnal if you don't make sure they are stimulated enough during the day.
I read they mainly do it when they are stressed. The cage could be to small or something.
I used to have a degu called Gringo. Oh the love!! I miss him.
Impressive enclosure ♥️
It's like a 'watching Degus at the petstore' simulator :D
Heh I'm the 1000th like. That's never happened before.
Degus kinda look like the love child of a guinea pig and a chinchilla. They seem like nice pets though I've never seen one in a pet store before.
cool
This cage is wonderful ! :O
Need to oil that saucer. Probably better though to get an actual large wheel. These guys are too cute, I want a couple lol. I've always had gerbils, hamsters, rats, and hedgehogs. I've never heard of these before.
I miss my old mans ones they all got very very old and died off its so sad there majestic lovley regal creatures
I love your cage but the noise from that wheel would drive me crazy! My degus just have a metal wheel which is nice and quiet :) I need to add branches like yours though!
They are soooo freakn cute.
my degus was listening and started taking back to them
Ale kochane, też mam takie ślicznotki ☺️ Film dodany 12l temu to pewnie już masz kolejne, inne koszatniczki...
My guy degu mc queen is out here shreding the plate
great video ..what are the spots on the back?
One of your beautiful degus has rusty tail ! Whow ! I have four degus.
One of your Degus missing fur, which means he lacks vitamins. I had same issue, but was able to solve it by constantly keeping their food pot full.
That crazy running, im died XD XD
Hup hup hup They jump so fast lmfao it's not even running anymore like a fast kangaroo
One of my degus, Ernie, has the same bald spot. This is due to my other degu, Bert, fur pulling. They had a stressful past history and I am not suprised this happend. Alas, they are both on the mend, living a stress free life now with plenty of room to run around and hidden treats to forage! Check out Degutopia about fur pulling....good tips!
Isn't it dangerous having cotton that they can swallow available to them?
what happened to his back????
So adorable !
Kochane śliczne koszatniczki.
That saucer exercise wheel is awesome. It looks a lot safer than the vertical wheels (if it were to fall the degu could jump out).
Degus are the best.
They are cute!
Hi chick pea love you so much for the first time in the morning and evening entertainment for the message and occasion making it a bit like that and I am not going to be very grateful for any damage caused by the end result
He's using a Nikon D7000 with a 20mm f/1.8 lens.
what it has in back?
I have sandcolored degus they are so cute but sometimes bit me
why is ones back shaved a bit ?
Thinking about getting two Degus how big should the cage be so the bald spot doesn’t happen and they don’t get stressed out?
best camera i've ever seen.
my degu have the same problem but idk what is it
omg amazing vid, camera is REALLY good
I had one Degu and he was very lonely. When I bought one more Degu, he was very happy and attractive. I think it is better if you have two Degus. (sorry for my eglish) :)
apart from my non-sense comments... wow that flying saucer is a cool idea. I would have never thought of that.
I own 7 degus they r seriously cute!!!!!:)
my degu is having the same bald problem that yours has. i dont no how to stop it, its because the other one is more dominent.
They're so cute!
nice cage...and nice DEGUS :)
I have 2 degus and one of them is white which is a rare colour and the other one is brown with a white dot I called them salt and pepper 😂😀
I did not know that they came in white
Donna Timmreck There are many colours of degus including black degus www.degutopia.co.uk/degucolours.htm
White isn’t a rare color. There are many degus that are white. Whoever told you that it’s rare obviously didn’t know what they were talking about
how did you make your saucer??
SO. FREAKING. CUTE.
You should get a dynamo or motor on that saucer you could have them generate energy for you :) i like the sounds they are making to each other :)
loving the flying saucer wheel, gonna replace my standard wheel with one of those. Looks like one of your deg's has had some hair shaved on the top of it's back? Was that for an in injury?
I always wondered why my degus did that sound
DodoDawg ure profile pic... and the chirping is then interacting with eachother means they have a close friend ship
finally an animal video shot in HD
wow! best cage ever
What camera did you use? Its amaaaaaaazing!
Cool things. I've read that these are the smartest rodents apparently.
why does one of theme have a bald spot?
Flying saucer????
My degus always fight so we have to keep them in different cages.
I forgot how funny and silly degus were :3.
i have the D7000 and my video doesnt look like this ;c
Did you construct the cage or buy it like that.I am possibly acquiring two little ones.Someone is getting rid of the parents and the two babies.I don't think I can take on all four.We have 4 cats and 3 hamsters already.I really like your setup though.What cam are you using it's so clear :)
thx for the upload
what camera did you use to this video ?
This is so cute
My degu had too,few moths later he died,so iIdont know,I hope your degu gets better soon :)
@MrDmitrij34 it is on the title
they are so cute im gonna have two in one month!:)
Did you get them
Why does one have a bald spot on his back?
Question. If you have one Degu, will it get lonely? Is it better to have two?
Yes, it's better to own 2-3 at once
Nice came out good
Where can you get the branches? :)
what camera do u use
ohh how do they do it its so cute i live withaut one at home luckuly i have degu yay yat
That spinning plate is not good their backs. They run in a curve like position which will damage their backs over time :)
The one with missing fur looks like a hybrid of some sort ? :P
ok i need a degu NOW
where did u get that cage and how big is it?
camera?
Ich habe selbst 4degus und sie haben ein ganzes Zimmer für sich
This is so cute omg I have 3 degus Stuart scarlet and Bell
Lol they are so cute! especially when they sniffed the camera -3 and their wheel is really loud lol :P
Btw Random question: where did you get your cage?

Billy Silly Thanks for that info. I will check out the site.
Also, if you are looking for making good treats, then use the peanut recipe for them. They love it!
The shaved back is usually fur loss I used to have it with mine but the fur grew back it's usually caused by stress or a generic fur loss disease
Hello Lifeextract, I was wondering is it possible to train the degu to wee and poop in the toilet? I'm planing on getting 2 but I don't want them doing it all over the cage, any advice you can give me will be great.
sorry no way to train them to do that I am afraid! They love to scatter their poop and wee everywhere to claim territory.
You should definetily get another one, or maybe even 2 or 3. Degu's need company and they're a lot more fun to watch in a herd. Just don't mix male and female or you will have more of them then you like to very soon ^^
I'm getting degu number 3 and 4 for the same group early next week ;)
They ALL are!
Hey, cool video, and nice video quality, what camera did you shoot it with?
I might be getting two of these! A women wants rid, and i hope i am in time to get them, they might have gone back to the shop :c
There are 2 girls or 2 boys? Or girl and boy?
better quality then real
life is clearer now.............
