Hello! I am new to the site and also a new(ish) degu owner. About 6-7 months ago my daughter and I adopted two degus, a male and a female. Not knowing much on the little guys at first I did copious amounts of reading and found out from the info and by observing the little critters what amazing...

A couple years ago I picked up a beagle/boxer mix puppy off the streets and decided to keep her.. very unlike me but what can you do? So I fell in love with her. She went through one false pregnancy after her first heat. We happened to be raising a litter of orphan kittens at the time who...

Hello, I've ended up rescuing a pregnant mouse who came from a tank with several young mice and a few adults and another pregnant mouse. I've an infirmary cage she is set up in and I'm going to begin giving her a diet to help her with her birth. She's pretty heavily pregnant and I think she'll...

I recently adopted two female spiny mice. One of them seems quite large and is bulging on her sides. The bulge moves from side to side, and her stomach feels quite firm. It's hard to feel any movement because she breathes so fast (all of my spiny mice do). The other spiny mouse is a female for...

I bought two degus' from Buckle's about two months ago. They were six months old at the time.The cashier that was helping me assured me that they were both boys. I named them Dexter and Connor. I put my trust in him, until I noticed my degu, Dexter, start to gain a bit of weight around the core...

So I got a special kitty coming in. Apparently what happened to her is she just showed up at someone's door. Turns out she was severely allergic to her. A couple of days after she tried finding a home for her, she started showing. I have built a special enclosure so she doesn't have to...

Well, Monday morning I noticed Jynx's tummy looked kinda weird, and she was laying funny, but I just passed it off. The nest also looked especially nice. I should have took the hint, but I went to school anyway. All day I felt stressed out, like I had to get home to the degus as soon as...

I just bought my second rat from the pet store today. I brought her home and she was terrified of coming out of her travel box. When I let her sniff me,she bit me pretty hard twice and ran and hid. I put her in her cage where she hasn't really come out except for when I would leave the room and...

I read on a few websites recently that it's possible for a male chin to impregnate a female through the cage wire if their cages are right next to each other. Does anyone know if this is true? I'm getting a bit worried because my boy and girls cages are next to each other and one of my girls'...

My 11 month old lop, Flapjack, has her first phantom pregnancy [she's never seen a boy, so a real one is out of the question]. She has taken large collections of hay and laid a floor in her house, covered it in phone book paper and cushioned it with her fur. This was all yesterday, and now she...
