Thats what a Degu looks like It is cute aint it?

A degu?! whats that?
Describe a degu is very difficult because they are often compared to other rodents. Even tho, they have their own look. They have brown and gray fur, dark hairs, they have a tail with a little floss of hair at his tip. The octodon is bigger than a gerbil but smaller than a rat. They also are realy nimble with their fron paws. They use them to hold food or pick up objects.

How long do they live?
Usualy, a wild degu lives about 4-5 years. But in captivity, they can live to 8 years. Its depends on how much we take care of them.

Them
Degus are really sociable animals . When you put a new member in their cage, they usualy become his friend quicly. But by experience, I can say that females degus can deal better with other ocotdons then males does.
- Male with female = Reproduction
- Male with male = fight
- Female with female = affiliation
Those are most current situations. But all the degus don't have the same behaviour and personality.
I sugess you put your 2 degus together when they are young so they can get along together.
