Our three Degu boys are getting settled in. We have learned a little more about them and are excited to share! Most importantly, we have chosen names for them. Because of all the "Frozen" craze going on, we decided that these cute little boys would like to join in the fun. We have selected the name: Christoph, Sven, and Olaf!
We found out that these boys are babies of the Degus rescued from Davis County. Many of the animals that were rescued that day came to the ARL already pregnant, just like our bunny Hope. Two of the Degu boys are brothers Christoph and Sven. They are a little bit older and bigger than their cousin, Olaf. Olaf was born to a family of 5 sisters. Because Degus are social and need to have friends, Olaf was lucky enough to join his boy cousins and become their own little family.
These three boys are very curious and have already begun making friends with the students and teachers. They love running on their wheel and even try to get in there all together and run. Yesterday we gave our first dust bath and they thought it was the greatest thing ever! They all tried to roll around in it at the same time and it looked like a giant party! Today we added some PVC tunnels to give them a chance to tunnel and play. I heard word that there is even a "Frozen" song remake in the works, called "Do You Want to Pet a Degu?"
