Degu by Krissyfawx on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

My first attempt at realism..ish... I hope I didn't suck TOO bad D:

Degus. Omg, my love for these little guys is indescribable. I used to own 10 of them a long time ago, 2 of them being my breeding pair. I had a second pair I was hoping to breed as well, but they were too young, and I had to sell them before I got the chance. I'm currently in the process of looking for two young ones, male and female, so I can breed them and start owning degus again. You have to get them young in order to tame them
And before you ask, no they are not rats,mice,hamsters, or gerbils. They're related to chinchillas and guinea pigs.

Here's some detailed info on them if you're interested [link]
