Dear All, I am hoping our networking skills can be used to save some lives. A local college has 100 or so degus to “gift” due to a lab closure. Any animals who can’t find homes by the end of the week will be humanely euthanized.
Degus are sweet rodents and make good pets. They are very smart and active during the day. Here’s a link to their wiki information: http://en.wikipedia.o.../
The Humane Society will help facilitate the transfer of these animals. If you are interested in taking on a pocket pet, or know anyone who is, please call me directly at 269.963.1796, ext. 13. Please forward this information on to your friends and family as well. Thank you so much for your help!

More info from Allison: -Degu's closest relative is the Guinea Pig so they make the same kind of noises. -Life span is 5-8 years, I don't know how old these are. -They eat the same thing as the GPs minus the pellets and plus seeds and less veggies. Also fruit s/b only avail in very small quantities. -They play soccer with the cat balls that have little bells in them: http://www.flickr.com.../
