I actually didn’t know what a degu was until jack_daniels started posting those pics, let alone that you had them in Hertfordshire

according to Darwin (who went and observed them many years ago) they also co-exist in the wild and even look after each others babies – something normally only seen in larger mammals and primates [1]

dunno why but I think that second chinchilla could do with some bling and a tam on its head :laugh_at: , like a chinchilla of judah…

[1] I’m not sure if a orangutan would make a very good nanny or babysitter, then again it may even improve the behaviour of some kids
