Degus

Common Name: Degu

Scientific Name: Octodon Degus

General Information: Degus originate from central Chile, typically between Vallenar and Curico on the west slope of the Andes.

They make great pets and are very similar to Chinchillas although they are unrelated. The average lifespan is 6 - 8 years. Adult size is approximately 6 - 14 oz. Fun fact, they take dust baths in volcanic ash!

Diet: Our Degus are fed a mix of pelleted food and hay. We offer the occasional treat from our Herbivore Treat Variety Pack, carried in store!

Price: Price depends on color.

Availability: We will have new babies in the store towards the end of January! Come by or call us at (850) 542-4410 to confirm availability.

Permit Information: No permit is required in the state of Florida. Each state has different laws. If you live outside the state of Florida check with your local Fish & Wildlife first to ensure the animal is legal and obtain any required permit before hand. For species requiring a permit in Florida, we offer free assistance to Florida residents once the animal has been reserved!

Cancelation / refund: Please note, all sales are final. You are purchasing a companion, not a product. This is a big commitment, and we ask you to do the research and be fully committed before checking out. Also, once an animal is sold or preordered, they are considered unavailable. This means if you purchase and change your mind, it can potentially cost the animal a fur-ever home, as even with preorders, quantity is limited, and once the number is reached, other potential adopters will be told no. Due to this, animals are not refundable or transferable.
