Degu's
By: Joshua and Taylor
Degu's as house pets.
Degu's look like mice but they are related to chinchillas.
Degu's eat chinchilla food as house pets.
Degu's live to be about 6-8 years.
Degu's live in South America and that is where you can only find them in the world where they arein the wild that is also where they originate from.
Degu's normally weigh 220-260 grams as an adult.
The oldest found in captivity seems to be over 16 years old record breaker.
Degu's like to live in groups because they feel safer this way.
Degu's don't need 'special' diets ( other than restricting sugary foods )
