In our country, the animal known as the degu (pronounced day-goo) is not very well known. That's a pity, as the degus are lovely household animals. They do not need a lot of attention and are a lot more intelligent than other and more familiar rodents, like hamsters. In addition, you may have more fun with degus. Don't think that I have something against hamsters - I've even got one of them myself, but with degus you really do have more fun.
