really love this pic by the way !
That's Ronnie at his chewing station, as you can see by all the detritus! He'll take anything wood there to chew up, and he love stealing stuff. So it was pretty easy to know where to point my camera phone when he pinched the keyring kendama from under my nose.
Poor lad is on his own (degu's are very socially dependent - groom each other, sleep in a pile etc) as Ronnie was rejected from his group. They aren't allowed to be sold alone really, so he was up for adoption to people that work from home, so are thus there for company. He's a great lad, but having him on his own means we feel guilty all the time... and thus he has a 6ft high degu breeder cage for 20 degus. As such, he has space for his own chewing zone, the spoiled sod!
