Hello everyone! I'm a 21-year-old woman, currently living in Montana and studying journalism. I have two pets: Jordan, my six-year-old chinchilla, and Darwin, my three-month-old degu. He's Jordan's mutant little brother. :D

Quote from: "Tank"I used to have a couple of Chinchillas and recently have been very attracted to the idea of getting a couple of degus, they appear really intelligent and curious.
I'd say they're about as smart as a chinchilla. They are crazy curious too! It's really cute watching him explore.

Degus aren't nearly as fast as chinchillas, so they're a bit easier to catch when they escape. If you liked chinchillas, I think you'll love having degus. I do recommend getting an all-metal cage before you bring them home. I figured he'd last a week or so in an old plastic cage I had around, but he nearly chewed his way out overnight! Little monster.

I am beside myself with grief...*grinnin*
