Degus My beautiful little degus. Degus originate from Chile in South America and are very social pets. They make lovely weeping noises and have a pretty black tuft at the end of their tail. This can come of if you hold their tail too tightly. They have to be fed a very strict diet as they are intolerant to sugar, and if fed too many sugary foods can die early or develop diabetes. They love to climb and make entertaining pets. Uploaded by Tiamjr (293) • 6 months ago Tags: degu, degus, rodent, rodents, south america Tiamjr (293)
