Degus originate from Chile in South America. They are native to the central and coastal areas of the country.
No, degus cannot shed their tail when threatened. Unlike some other animals, such as certain lizard species, degus cannot detach their tail as a defense mechanism.
No, yellow teeth are not a sign of health in degus. Healthy degus should have teeth that are a bright orange color. Yellow teeth may indicate dental issues or potential health problems, and monitoring your degu’s dental health closely is essential.
Yes, degus are distantly related to chinchillas. Both degus and chinchillas belong to the same family, Chinchillidae, but they are different species.
