I was wondering what sort of toys I should buy for my soon-to-be goos. Since there isn't any Degu toys, I didn't know if I should go with chin, rat, ferret, or some rabbit toys. Also, what do goos like to play with? I mean are they tunnelers like hamsters, or what? Do they like ferret hammocks...

I just wanted to let everyone know NOT to use corn cob bedding for Dwarf Hamsters. Especially if they are diabetic. According to the labeling on the bag it is safe for hamsters. However apiragyllis fungus grows with only the slightest amount of moisture and is not visable to the naked human...

Cedar and Pine Shavings are Toxic to ALL Small Animals! Cedar and pine shavings, the bedding choices most commonly used for small animals, have been found to contain toxins! Both cedar and pine contain phenols-that's the stuff that makes them smell good. Phenols are caustic, poisonous, acidic...

I'm curious to what you all use for bedding/litter in your degu habitats. Also are they in a cage or Tank? I mix a pine pellet litter which i use for the rabbits too, with some aspen shavings. I have corn cob for all my other critters and it is great, my worry was the Goos may eat it.

Okay so I got Gunny (the ferret) a litter box. He is used to using one but when I put the litter that came with it in the box he went everywhere but the litter box. Then I tried Corn Cob but that didn't work either. Should I just stick with cat litter? I have tried putting his waste in the...

What do you guys think of it? I love it.

I have a Syrian hamster whom I've taken to the vet two times for her sneezing. The first time he gave her an antibiodic to take every 12 hours, and the second time a cordazon shot. Her sneezes have reduced, but she's still sneezing. I was thinking she's possibly allergic to her food. She's...
