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.
