Has anyone ever owned a Degu or Ferret?
i just found two extremely cute Degus available for adoption on an animal shelter site. me and my sister have been looking for a small pet such as a guinea pig, hamster, ferret, bunny, etc. and this video of these Degus is adorable.
i've had guinea pigs, hamsters, and watched over a ferret for a friend before.
so do degus have any special needs such as their diet or just needs in general i should know about??
I would get two, as they're brothers.
also, instead of a Degu, we could get a ferret. Anything useful on ferrets? please help.
Thank you! (:

Honestly, I highly advise against adopting a degu. They aren't bad pets, but they are definitely not the cuddly kind. They can be tamed, but in general they are fast and do not like being held. So they aren't really a hands-on kind of pet, like a ferret or other small animal would be.
Ferrets can make great pets but they live a long time and need a lot of attention and training to be the perfect pet. They need large wire cages and special food. Usually if you do not get your ferret young and don't train it, it will bite. They can bite pretty hard and have very sharp teeth! Also, even when they are "descented" ferrets produce a natural odor that many people don't like.
My favorite small animal is a rat. They should be kept in same-sex pairs, but they make great pets. They are clean, don't smell, and don't bite. Once yours is tame is will love cuddling with you. They, like ferrets and degus, need large wire cages. Rats are very intelligent and can be taught tricks.
Just do research on whatever you are leaning towards!
I reccommend thinking about the following aspects in relation to your choice of pet:
-What is the lifespan of the animal? If it's long, be prepared to being committed for years and years.
-What is the cost of a cage? Gerbils and hamsters cages are a lot cheaper than rats, degus, and ferrets.
-What are your plans for the future? If you are in highschool for example, and plan to be going to college in the next 4 years, a ferret or degu would not be a good choice, they can live over 20 years. Dorms won't allow them!
Good luck!
