I've just been mentally re-designing my room to fit a large rat/degu cage in.....and I'm pretty sure that it would fit
When I was working at my local rescue about 6 weeks ago I completely fell for an elderly ratty called Charlie Brown, if he's still there in a fortnight when I'm back from my holiday I'll be taking him home, but if he's not (and there's a good chance he won't be, as he really was an elderly chappie
) I have a choice to make....should I get rats or degus?
I have space enough for a cage large enough for 2 or 3 of either, and more to the point can afford one at the moment too (it's student loan time!). There will be plenty at the rescue so availability isn't a problem.
Rats & degus are very different......what do people think about them?
(I don't anticipate any problems between the hamsters and rats/degus.....already had to move the boys' cages up to higher shelves as Phoebe could climb up to them when she was having out-time).
