Well a few days ago I took in a pair of rescued degus, in very poor condition. They are extremely greasy, thin and were being fed rat and hamster food, totally unexceptable!

The good news is that I already have a prospective adopter!

They are very skittish but I think after some good nutritous food, being taken off cedar and socialized they will come around. The person is coming over today to look at them.

I also took in some more rescued rats, a litter of babies and their mother. They are being quarantined for the moment so hopefully they will check out healthy.

I am going ot upload some pics, so enjoy looking at them. They are just darling!

Here you can see how skinny the one degu is. Sorry about my camera string.

It's hard to not get it in the pics....

Omg, cute baby ratties!!!

Are you going to keep any of them? they are adorable! You can't find sweeties like those in the pet shops or shelters around here.

Poor degus.

Atleast they are off to a good brand new start.

I think I am keeping two babies and the mom. The mom is going to go in with my hairless girl Wrinkles, after they all pass quarantine.

I have wanted another nude girl for Wrinkles for a long time lol.

I am keeping a boy and girl, and maybe another baby boy if he turns out to be double rex. They do have a slight ped and are healthy, so I might be breeding them.........and they may be lilac too!
