Can a dagus live with gerbils?
I'm assuming that by "dagus", you mean "degu". It's pronounced
"day-goo", but that's how it's spelled is 'degu'. It's a cross
between a kangaroo-rat, and a gerbil. A kangaroo-rat isn't a
kangaroo and a rat, it's just a type of rat just like a pitbull is
a type of dog, not it's own species. A degu is a fussy animal. If
you get a degu at a very young age, you can put another degu in
that young from another litter, or the same litter, but they tend
to bond with the owner, and don't want to share attention which is
why you don't want to have a degu for a long period of time, and
then put a baby, or full grown degu in that same cage. Although a
degu is part gerbil, it's not a good idea to put a gerbil in the
cage with it. Degu's are feisty, and just want attention from the
owner. You can do this if you'd like, but I have the most friendly
degu, and she was very, very aggressive when even another degu was
put in her cage.
