COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
degus update the timid one, (both still unnamed) is ALOT more active today but still quick to run and hide. one is really gallus already, comes over to say hello and never sits still.
so now we have the basic start, believe it or i read to offer cuttle! so Fido kindly donated one from his cupboard and his old half log. they also take 'sand baths' rather fun to watch. we are already thinking of a much larger enclosure. we added in a hammock and wheel, i'll be doing another 'make do and mend' with the enclosure!
here's some more pictures ( tonight we'll call them 'degu' and 'maradona' ) it's hard to get good pictures through the wire

Thank you GillianGood afternoon (almost evening here: it's 5.10 pm now). It's nice and warm here as well. So I took Oli out for a walk in the lovelysun.
to your daughter. And enjoy the movies.
Hope to hear you find Tucker soon.
They are precious!!!!!
they are so fun to watch, really cute vocals as well
. it was so sweet watching them go to sleep last night, one circled before lying down like a dog does! the other snuggled up! trying to upload a video to YouTube and will start a thread in other pets
Lovely John - will they enjoy cardboard tubes the same way that gerbils do? They make cheap 'toys'they are so fun to watch, really cute vocals as well

yeah, I done some goggleing' last night
. you were right, an enclosure as big as we can get is on the cards. I don't trust myself making a chew proof cage!
As they like to climb you could have a tower, by adding on to what they have already. Going up wouldn't take so much room either. I bet there's some good ideas out there.yeah, I done some goggleing' last night
got scrap wood and hinges left from fido's old house
. just letting them settle then will be getting a couple of hamster type balls for them to run around... then i'll be renovating
