Please send lots of healing thoughts and vibes to my two degus, Bobby and Geoff.
It is currently degu breeding season until early Spring so the hormones in degus both male and female are currently raging
Bobby and Geoff have the odd scuffle but they had a full blown fight yesterday My husband managed to split them up wearing gloves and we separated them for 20 minutes (you’re not meant to separate for long otherwise you have to start with the bonding process) to let them calm down. We then put them back together. There was some teeth chattering but they soon settled back down together.
I have cleaned their bite wounds but will have to take them to the vet if they become infected
They have been fine overnight (I’ve been up and down checking on them) and they were snuggled up in bed together this morning but I’m so hoping we don’t have a repeat performance and have to separate permanently as they will both be sad and we don’t have the space for another cage so hubby has said one would have to go up for adoption which I couldn’t bare as I love them both so much
Any healing vibes and thoughts would be much appreciated
