Slightly off topic - but I know that we who are in the shelter and rescue business or even just animal lovers for that matter, can end up with alll kinds of different animals in our care. This is why I have a Horse Rescue asking me if I know anyone who would like to adopt 2 Degu's. Ahhh, what's a Degu you might ask............Ya, I know, I had to do a quick Google search myself. The Degu is a small Chilean rodent -you can see a picture at this site: http://www.geocities.com/degurescue/ I am aware of 2 Degu's in need of a home. They are approx 6 mos old and their caretaker is 99% sure that they are both males and that they are littermates. If you are a Degu lover, or would like to become one, please give me a shout - these little fellas are currently out of place at the Horse Rescue. [Posted in FML issue 4219]
