Shelter: BC SPCA - Sunshine Coast Animal ID: 467865 Birthdate: August 04, 2016 - Adult Spayed/Neutered: No Male Bear and his buddy Roo could be the cutest little critters we've ever seen! They are Degus which originally came from the lowlands and coasts of Chile in South America. Pretty cool huh? Even though they are rodents they are much different then other rodents. They need special food and also they are not nocturnal like most rodents. They are awake during the day and sleep at night. During the day they're usually getting all of their exercise in on their running wheel and poking around looking for extra treats. If you're interested in giving a couple of Degus a lovely home then come meet them here at the Sunshine Coast Branch. We also recommend doing some research on these fancy Degus! lots to learn :)
