How cute! They are all adorable, but it's nice to see someone with a degu. My mom got one for me when I was in high school from someone she worked with. The woman actually gave us the degu and a rat. Both were great pets, and pretty social (they were kept seperately) and I really enjoyed them. However, since noone had ever heard of them, everyone thought I was making the degu up, or at least mixing up what he was! People kept telling me that "that's not a real animal..." Only when they saw him did they believe me!
