Degu Links.


Here are a collection of Degu links that I have found - there are more links on most of the pages listed. The information on them sometimes varies so take care to read as much as possible about the Degu care.If you are looking for toys, cages or feed try the Pet Shopping page.

If you are looking for a Degu to adopt, or a home for degus, I am starting up a Degu Rescue page.

Degu Mailing Lists - there is a large collection of Degu mailing lists at Yahoo Groups. There is also an alt.degu newsgroup.

Degu Rescue - Degu Rescue by the Deguland Society especially for the owners and rescue centres that take in unwanted, or abandoned degus and try to find them loving new homes, or offer them a home for life. This doesn't seem to have been updated lately but there are some rescue centres that may have degus at the moment listed.

I just found this interesting page for Moscow Zoo's Night World that contains enclosures for a range on rodents including Degus, Chinchillas and Persian Jirds.

Octodon Degu Page - a lot of time and effort has obviously gone into this beautiful page with lots of pictures.

Degutopia - has lots of degu information, and you can also join the deguinformation email group from here.

DeguBlog - The day to day adventures of a novice degu owner. Richard shares his experiences of being the owner of three female degus that he adopted from the RSPCA.

The official Deguland society web page - lots of UK based information on Degus from Amber and Johanna Richardson who are experienced Degu owners. I just love the photo of the "heap" of Degus on the front page. There is lots of useful information here including a printable Degu book and information on care, housing and choosing your Degu as well as a breeder list and a degu rescue page. Also there is a link to the Degu of the month and the Degu Show competitions - why not enter your best degu photo and you might win a medal. Pumpkin has several hanging by her cage now!

Delightful Degus.

Chris Booton's Degu Site - this is a personal site which also has some breeders listed.

Small and Furries has information about Persian and Shaw's Jirds and Degus.

The Rodent Appreciation Group now has its own site for people interested in exotic rodents. RAG is an organisation that exists to promote the proper care of exotic rodents and to encourage the breeding of the more unusual species by domestic owners where zoos are short of space. It is worth joining for its intersting newletter about all sorts of exotic which is available online to members.

Chinchillas 2 Home sell good Chinchilla pellets and hay suitable for degus and great toys as well. Just remember not to feed anything with dried fruit.

Degu Links Page - this page has a family tree for the Octodon Degus and lots more Degu Links.

Pet Rescue Forums - links and forums for people interested in adopting an animal or who have animals needing a home.

The Degu Website is a fairly new website that the owner Melina has asked me to add a link to with lots of great pictures and information. It also has a Dutch Language version.

The Degu Den - A new site that I have been recently asked to list with some really cute degu baby pictures on it.

Galen's Garden - do natural pet products. The Degus and Chinchilla quite like the hedgerow herbs which is good as they won't touch fresh greenery.

Here is the Open Directory Project's Degu Index.
