Question my daughter's friend has 2 female dagus she wants to give away they do bite now how easy are they to tame? i know they are born diabetic but what fresh foods do they like? Thank you for any information
Answer Really you need to try and handle them in a closed area and let them run around you. Offer the a small amount of carrot, cabbage, lettuce, un-cooked pasta, brown bread
Degus are usually friendly creatures and enjoy attention so they should be easy to tame depending on how old they are!
