I'm still in May omg. Last night Tony found someone on Facebook selling 4 degu girls + their cage for £50, after a bit of debating I went to see & collect them, the cage is pretty huge & awesome but diiiirty, I've got to clean it out in the next few days.
I'm having a bit of difficulty telling them apart but i'll give it a go!
First up is Dash, then Juno, Indie and lastly Kendrix. I tried coming up with names that made up four or went together as a four, but took me too long and I gave up so just used random names I liked XD

cuuuuuuuuuuuuute!

I was at the National Zoo (in Washington DC) and they have a bunch of these guys in the Small Mammal House, which always surprises me, because I think of them as pets. They make me think of a gerbil crossed with a chinchilla. How do they act? Are they like gerbils, or more wild?

Haha that is weird, I've not seen them at zoos yet, are the ones you know tame?
They are like giant gerbs pretty much! Only they have slightly different diets, but the way they act is very similar, if anything I think they could become just as tame quite easily, plus they live for about 8 years so plenty of time to get used to being handled!

Giant gerbiloids!

Saying that, though, one of my females (I'm looking at you Wet Cements) may well end up that size if she keeps eating all the food.

But omg! Giant gerbiloids! Like teddy bears!

Haha, over feed gerbs and this is what happens! They just *pop* and you get a degu! xp

four names that match or ryme (sp)
july, june, Jenn and jade
rats, mats, hats, cats.
How big is the cage and are they all in the same one?
Are you going to use Tai's old cage for anything?
Jennys jealous, can they be handled much??

The cage is a little bit bigger than Tai's, but tipped up the other way, so it is tall rather than wide,and all 4 live together yup, they are known to get along better than gerbs do!
I don't know what to do with Tais old cage yet though.
They can be handled, same as the gerbs, I bet Jen would get on with them really well, get them out everyday and they'll become tame like guinea pigs :]
