Default Delicious degus!

Here are my degus. I have 3 females. they were born in a rescue and were there for the first 2 years of they're lives! I have had them 6 months and they get on great. They are like peas in a pod and I can only suss out which is which by they're personalities. One is very shy (baby) one is very angry (penny) and the other is just right, lovely and friendly (Bernadette).

They're lovely! Sort of like giant gerbils... Do they act like large gerbils? Are they about rat-sized? How long do they live?
Sorry, just curious

Hi. They are very much like giant gerbils! My 4 year old gerbil died and I was looking at getting some more when I saw some Degus in p@h. I Searched and found these rescues. they look girbilish but are closely related to guinea pigs and chinchillas. They come out at all times of day same as gerbils, love chewing and love a sand bath. they are smaller than a rat and more chubby than long. They live about 5-8 years but apparently can live longer. Super fun to watch their little antics and they play together a lot and love going on their metal flying saucer. The same as any group of animals they can fall out, but mine have always been fine and never had a cross word. x
