I bought my daughter a pair of Degus for her birthday. I am usually the one that buys the rats over the gerbils. One look at the Degus boxing and I fell hard. We put them in Chinchilla balls and let them run around the house. The are so curious and always seem to find me. They will also come to us if my daughter or I call them. The sounds that they make are almost bird-like, but without the shrieking edge to them. We plan on having one litter, keeping all the babies but separating the girls from the boys.
Since I am pretty new to Degu's, I have checked out websites though, I was wondering if there was a sure way to know that they have successfully bred. I assume that they are like rats and mice and you can just count on it that they did??
Thanks
