Hey! I love that they've got so much space! Well done on giving them the space that they need, but please do your research! Degus can be a finicky little animal when they want to be, so make sure you know what you're doing. Also - PLEASE change that wheel! Whilst it might be fine for hamsters or such, degus can get caught in the openings and hurt themselves. A good wheel for them is completely open.
Myra Hughes i have done my research lol i im very aware of all of their needs. i’ve done research on their wheel and it’s okay for them - however if i notice any problems the front part is removable so i will take it off :)
@@piggiepalace Thanks for replying :) I don't doubt you would have - I watch your videos and you take really good care of your animals. It's just sometimes degus can be temperamental. If it's fine thats great! I couldn't tell if they were plastic or metal, but just bear it in mind!
i had a degu called herman tips: use wood not plastic trays to gain trust put porridge oats in you hand for them but not a lot put porridge oats in their hay so they can search for it buy a birch log but from pets at home so they don't hurt them self teeth have to be yellow enjoy!
Enjoy your new additions :) I had this cage to start but it is actually smaller than the recommended size for two degus and I ended up doubling mine up with a second cage eventually to give them enough ground space. They will chew those plastic shelves too which can be dangerous for them so you will need to replace them ASAP with wooden shelving. As others have pointed out, your wheel is also too small/unsuitable for degus and needs replacing. I wouldn't use fleece coverings to be honest as again, they will chew it (fleece is a plastic) and the fibres could get caught in their limbs leading to injury. The other issue with fleece is it will absorb the urine and smell pretty bad after a short period if time, you will end up having to replace all the coverings every few days which will be a pain for you and unsettling for them if their home is constantly getting disturbed. For the mess, most degu owners attach perspex or wooden barriers to the lower half of the shelves to reduce fall out. I've been a degu owner for 2 years and am still making changes to my cage, they are fantastic pets once you get the setup right and they will bring you lots of joy and fun :)
Cat De this is more than enough space for 2 Degus. This cage I have been looking at for a while and trust me it's a great size for the both of them. Maybe you should do YOUR research and not criticize others when really she is treating them with love and care whereas they would have been stuck in the pet shop for a while. Degus aren't popular and are often put down. They are also used as testing animals.
I use fleece for my degus and they love it. Plus it's nowhere near as messy as shaving lol I just use binder clips to secure them on the levels and at least with mine they won't chew the plastic levels if the fleece is over them :) ohh they love scratches behind the ear and around the neck it's a real good way to bond with them once they get a bit used to you
I originally bought 2 females and one day I came home from work and one had babies must have been pregnate before I bought them. I had 10 Degus made sure they were all nurtured till they were mature then separated the males and females rehomed the boys and kept the girls my cage is massive and now I own 4 ^_^ they are really beautiful loving animals since I raised them from birth ^_^
I have 2 degus as well and there names are riot and squeaks and they're both boys and I love them so much❤. Ik that your degus have gone to a great home! Btw you should let them get to know you better and settle in to their new home for about a month before you handle them. That's my advice for things that you should know. Ik that everything else about degus you probably already know.
I have two degu's don't you find as they get older they start to make a nest and everything you give them gets taken in....they're like little hoarders, mine are anyways lol hence the name" pack rats!"
That wheel is definitely gonna disappear xd. I have two boys and they chewed it to bits in the span of a month. With my boys if it's plastic or wood they chew it. We are hoping to get a full metal cage ourselves. It was hard to tell ours a part too at first but they have small differences. Nibbles has two breaks in his left ear from his brother boss from before they came also being the thinner of the two and Boss is human friendly and chubby.
I thought I was early there is only 10 comments you're amazing and I lover all your pets and animals :here before 100 views. I meant I was not early and omg you hearted my video I might me getting Guinea pigs in February yay
Make sure they're both boys! The place I got my two from said mine were two girls but they're boys. And yes once they start chewing on the plastics they won't stop until its gone 😂
I really want another hamster but 2 years time I'll have to say goodbye. Hate the fact they don't live long. My hamster passed away in July time this and struggling to fall in love with another hamster. P. S I have a Guinea pig called Bert absolutely love the name
Amy Froud I had a hamster. Lived for 2 years then passed on. That's why I can't have hamsters. Too much pain and emotion involved when they pass, I'm not telling you not to get one, maybe just rethink it?
Does Bert not get along with other guinea pigs? I hope he is okay without a friend because as EVERY pet youtuber with piggies “they need to be in pairs or herds”
Congratulations on getting your degus they are amazing Animals to have if you ever need any advice tips ect please go join DeguMania on Facebook 🐻🐻🐻🐻❤️❤️❤️ From one degu house hold to another enjoy
here we have bert, or maybe ernie, and then back there is bert but possibly ernie

Ruby Tarling fleece, dust extracted woodshavings or aubiose! i’ve tried lots of different kinds before but these are my favourites :))
Hannah Cerys thank you so much. Trust everything you say x

I got my new guinea pigs today
I originally bought 2 females and one day I came home from work and one had babies must have been pregnate before I bought them. I had 10 Degus made sure they were all nurtured till they were mature then separated the males and females rehomed the boys and kept the girls my cage is massive and now I own 4 ^_^ they are really beautiful loving animals since I raised them from birth ^_^
Aren’t degus burrowing animals? So shouldn’t they have deep bedding not fleece? No hate
My degus are called barney and Earnie ! We have the same name for one

I got 3 Guinea pigs and a rabbit Do you think you could do a toy & treat hall of your favourite toys and treats
They are precious! 😍
They are so cute! They’re like big gerbils😄!

You could use fleece there much better than that bedding fleece are much prettier makes the cage look prettier
I have 2 degus as well and there names are riot and squeaks and they're both boys and I love them so much❤. Ik that your degus have gone to a great home! Btw you should let them get to know you better and settle in to their new home for about a month before you handle them. That's my advice for things that you should know.

I have two degu's don't you find as they get older they start to make a nest and everything you give them gets taken in....they're like little hoarders, mine are anyways lol hence the name" pack rats!"
Too cute, great video, hope you had a good Christmas x
Im glad you did research before!
That wheel is definitely gonna disappear xd. I have two boys and they chewed it to bits in the span of a month. With my boys if it's plastic or wood they chew it. We are hoping to get a full metal cage ourselves. It was hard to tell ours a part too at first but they have small differences. Nibbles has two breaks in his left ear from his brother boss from before they came also being the thinner of the two and Boss is human friendly and chubby.
Congrats

welcome to the furry family Bert & Ernie
I’m very jealous, I’ve wanted degus for about 9 years now
I have 3 and they are soooooooooooooooo cute they are my babus 😍😍😍😍
There so cute x love your videos
I miss my degus. Several became age 7. I didn't know England had degus. Carefree bedding. No wood chips.
Quand j'ai adopté mes octodons j'avais cette cage mais ils passaient à travers les barreaux 😄 j'ai dû changer de cage
Your so pretty
Make sure they're both boys! The place I got my two from said mine were two girls but they're boys. And yes once they start chewing on the plastics they won't stop until its gone 😂
awesome gift, congrats.
So cute omg xxx
Great!))) Yo're very kind girl! It's true)))
I recommend giving them lots of blocks of wood, they go mad for them.
I have the exact same cage for my degu and they ended up chewing through the plastic 😂
I'm prett5 sure you can't put makes in the same cage or else they will fight, I saw it somewhere but infant be positive 😅
no that’s not true lol
They can be together, but you should have two of everything because they are terroterial
I really want another hamster but 2 years time I'll have to say goodbye. Hate the fact they don't live long. My hamster passed away in July time this and struggling to fall in love with another hamster.
P. S I have a Guinea pig called Bert absolutely love the name
Amy Froud I had a hamster.
Lived for 2 years then passed on. That's why I can't have hamsters.
