Your name: Clare - Rhydowen Rodent Refuge - www.rhydowenrodentrefuge.webs.com rhydowenrodentrefuge@yahoo.com
Location: Rhydowen, Ceredigion, West Wales
How many degus: 2
What sex are they: Female
Age: Approximately 8 months
Reason for rehoming: Were handed in to Ellesmere Animal Rescue Centre Pembrokeshire as they were being ignored by their previous owner, which was already their second home. They came here as Ellesmere Rescue didn't have the facilities or knowledge to keep them.
Temperament: Very good, especially considering no one has paid them any attention for some time. They are very curious when you open the cage and come to say hello and play with your hand. As with a lot of degus they aren't keen on being picked up but don't struggle too much when you do pick them up and they certainly don't bite.
Medical problems: Doris has the end of her tail missing but this is fully healed so should not cause her any problems. She also has two small patches of her missing by her ear and at the back of her head. They were seen by a vet and he couldn't see anything wrong with the skin and the fur now appears to be growing back. We think that this was due to poor diet and hope the fur will continue to regrow. We will be keeping a close eye on the situation and they won't be rehomed until we are happy this is resolved.
Do they come with any accessories: No - These girls came in a plastic based cage with plastic accessories, which is now in a very sorry state.
Possibility of delivery: Possible to some other areas of Wales. Will rehome to other areas is home can be checked and transport arranged.
