We have new babies. Meet the Little Girls:


Quadruplet degus. We got them 3 weeks ago, from the SPCA, and they’re quite charming little creatures. We haven’t given them names yet because, as far as we can tell, they’re pretty much identical, except for one with a pink spot on her nose. Her name is Rum, because we all like saying “Why is the Rum gone?”

Well, that’s kind of the problem. They look like every degu that ever lived.
They’re damned cute, though, ain’t they?

Looks like it’s time for a little surreptitious ear clipping!
“Rum”,
“Lucky” and
“Lop-Ear”

I’m thinking tattoos – Raging Tiger, Asian Dragon, and Mom.

They’re cute but messy. Really, really messy. But sooo cute!
Oh, and they have really pointy little toes.

They kick their bedding out onto the floor. But they’ll come right out on your hands when you hold them near the cage door. I didn’t think I’d like them as well as I liked the gerbils, but I really do like these little guys.
