As you can see in the above picture, a degu (pronounced DAY·GOO) is a small, brownish-red rodent with a squirrel-like head, gerbil-like tail, and hampster-like body. They grow to be almost as large as chincillas. Degus are extremely cute, energetic, and intelligent, and will eventually form a tight bond with their owner if given enough attention. This web page is for everyone who loves degus or wants to learn more about them. If you already have degus, I hope that you will learn something new about them from this site. If you do not have one, my goal is to influence you to choose a degu as your next pet. Please explore my site, and visit the other links as well |
