Hey all i have written this twice now!!! New to forums and i'm getting a little confused!
So I am worried about my little degu Mr Degu ( lol not very inventive but i think its cute
)
So my degu was off my mums friendsdaughter and he arrived on his own and i didn't know until recently after looking up information that they are very sociable creatures and shouldnt live on there own! Now he has been alone for a few months i have had him and god knows how many months before i got him! To be honest i Don't think he was very well looked after as when i got him he had no nesting box, his tail was hurt it looked as though it had been snapped and his cage was filthy! he had maggots in the bottom of his cage!!!!!:mad2:
So my worries are firstly that i am running low on funds at the moment and can't afford another degu for a few weeks! He lives with me in my bedroom and gets lots of attention! ( he moved after he lived at my boyfriends house but my boyfriend works quite alot so we thought it best he come here) Will he be ok for the few weeks? Also when i get a degu how do i go about introducing them? now i know you separate the cage but my cage only has one door on the right hand side and if i separated it i would only be able to get to one degu! Any ideas would be muchly appriciated :thumbsup:
Also his behaviour is quite disturbing i'm not sure if it's normal he will sit on the top shelf for quite some time and do nothing! he just sits and stares! i am wondering is this normal degu behaviour?
Anyways any replies will be appriciated thanks x
