All About Oreo, Daim & Mars
We have 3 female degu’s, who have lived with us at the farm since early 2017. They are brilliant to watch and we often refer to them as frenemies as they love to squabble just as much as they love to cuddle up for naps. Students have learned to put up with their noise as they run on their exercise wheels all day long!”
