We need some degus!

[B_2_B]

Sorry for non-horsey post but most people are in here!
Our chinchilla population recently plummeted to one lonely old girl and we can't find a home for her, and we want to get some degus. We had lots of degus years ago but the last one died a few months ago and she's lived with the degus before.
So does anyone have or know of any degus we can have or buy?

thanks! xx

Our pets at home sell them, but as were in gloucester it pretty far away!!!
They are very cute, like big gerbils!

look at the dogpages website for rehoming rescues, there is a section for' other animals' and they often have lots of furries on there, in fact I will check and see now

 

[lachlanandmarcus]

there were some on there early in the year: the post is still open (page 2) but they were in Dorset.

theres also a degu forum whose address is in the dogpages thread which might have more available

Try your local animal rescue's, sometimes they have them (very occassionally).

I have rats just now but degu's will prob be the next thing!

You could try asking on this forum as they often have animals in need of homes advertised.
