They can be quite shy for the first month or two, but with enough playing, he will trust you. To test if he trusts you, try giving him a massage on his belly.
Bo-Il Seo I knew I recognised that music lol, it's played somewhere else aswell though. Since I haven't completed that game I got stuck at the butterfly bit on the roof and gave up xD
They make adorable additions to a family. Just lost the second of my two girls after 8yrs of love, affection and the two of them demanding belly tickles.
Hi. Never got bitten once in the time my babies where with me. Definitely get at least two as they are very social creatures and thrive on companionship.
@@IainHamilton i had 4 hamsters My last died 2 weeks ago So I was thinking about getting a pet thats similar to hamster but lives longer So my question is are they similar Are degus night pets And are they aggressive
Hi Anna A Degu has a lifespan of 8yrs so far longer than a hamster. They are also active during the day (can’t mind the technical term for that). I have heard of aggressive Degus but that’s rare. All the ones I have had have been great in temperament and it’s funny to watch my four girls push/shove each other to get to me first when I get home. Get same sex pairs if you do go for these amazing creatures. And get a metal hutch for them as wood/plastic ones won’t last long. Keep me posted.
i have 2 boy degus who ive had for about 4 months now. i was wondering when they will start letting me stroke them more. they already let me pick them up and they climb on me but they dont like being stroked.
Natalie D i think about getting some...im used to rat which i like very much but they all dies so soon as you know for a 'rat person' do you think they'll make good pets...do they run all the time or they like some lap time like a rat
Ragimund VonWallat I dunno if you got degus yet. But I am also a rat lover, for many years I've had them since I was a child. When getting a degu I was surprised at how much more they chew and poop. But cause of their diet of hay and degu pellets.. you'll find their poop is always a dry pellet making it much easier to clean. But they really do chew, far more than a rat. Mine are boys and degus are very vocal, so i noticed how much noisier they are straight away, so long as you ain't a worrier and understand animal nature you will have no trouble at all. But a degu is more like a exotic animal than a rat. They have strict diets and funny behaviour. Lol
I remember when my degu was this small, he was so cute. Now he's 3-4 years old.
I miss my degus. Some lived to 7.so adorable
Kaka lived to 6years and 7months. I miss him so much.
@@boyle_seo sorry for your loss
Very cute and tiny. I'd love to hold and pet one in my hand.
My degu, Fudge, hates being touched but im slowly teaching him to let me groom him like this. I find it best to bribe him with treats.
Did you make progress?

The background music is "The End (Prague Radio)" in Machinarium OST
Bo-Il Seo I knew I recognised that music lol, it's played somewhere else aswell though. Since I haven't completed that game I got stuck at the butterfly bit on the roof and gave up xD
The music in the butterfly stage was also awesome.
instantly recognized it lol

Did she ever bite you?
And did it hurt?
Im thinking of getting one
Did u get two or only one
Since they're social animals
Is it good to take only one?

Precious!
I love that you put background music from Machinarium!
So cute and beautiful 😍💕..
Mine can't stand cuddling at all, she's pretty much on her own((
Try bribing her with her favorite treat. That helped my degu climb up on my arm all by himself.
i have 2 boy degus who ive had for about 4 months now. i was wondering when they will start letting me stroke them more. they already let me pick them up and they climb on me but they dont like being stroked.
"Kaka" in my language (latvian) is "poop" :{
That's funny lol. Am i Should consider rename him? haha
Same in hungarian xD Apart from that it sounds kind of cute. I don't think you should rename him just because if that. :D
Actually, i named him after a famous football player lol
Nifiga latvieti atradu... čav

lps_junipurr ! OMG ikr
Thanks!
Degus are not brushed tails rats
Infact the are not even related to rats.
They are related to chinchillas, squirrels and rabbits
Thanks for an information. But i know that rabbits are the Most irrelevant between them. they are totally different species.
At least rats has a taxonomic similarity to 'rodents'.
@@boyle_seo closer studies reveal that rabbits and degus show some relation.
They are technically Chilean Mountain Squirrels. The French call them Octodons.
👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍
i used to have a degu named Alvin and he would always hide in the sleeve of my shirt with his head sticking out! i really miss him
What's the music playing please ? So cute btw :')
Ok thank you very much :) !
I was think of buying a Degu
My degu doesn’t stay in my hand :( he lets me cuddle him, but he is always afraid... I have him for a year now
Try bribing him with treats. And try to figure out what he is afraid of.
that looks like a little guy! How old is this degu?
3 months..its in the vid...
Thank you for leaving comment! Now, they are all grown up
I still wish mine were this little! I have an 8 year old girl and two 2 year old boys, we just lost our 6.5 year old princess :'(
