Colored degu squirrels

These animals are very curious, smart and sociable. With proper handling, they become completely tame and, unlike most domestic rodents, they really become very attached to the owner, they always recognize him, communicate with him with pleasure, and also learn more and more new tricks. Degus are good-natured and friendly, playful and very active. They seem to have an inexhaustible source of energy, love of life and optimism. These kind exotic pets are great for families with children, provided that children know how to handle animals and, through negligence or ignorance, will not harm fragile rodents.
