Why has your degu lost its tail?
Degus lose their tails as a form of defense. It is natural, but can be dangerous if they bleed too much or become infected. Contact a vet if you are worried. Don't catch degus by their tails - they think you are a predator and will shed the tail. The tail will never grow back again.
Why should you never pick up a Degu by the nape of its neck?
• == == •The Degus sense of smell is very good; keep this in mind when you go to handle it. If you have just been eating, your hands smell like food, and it may try to bite your fingers! == == •Never grab, lift or try to pick up a degu by the tail. They can easily lose part of their tail. Shedding their tail is a natural defense of wild degus to escape if caught by the tail. It does not grow back and can permanently affecttheir balance.

Can you keep degus in an indoor rabbit cage?
Degus can live indoors no problem (actually, they should live indoors), but the size of the cage is a concern. Degus should live in communities -- at least, there should be two of them, but ideally there should be more than two. (Although, they must be introduced carefully; don't just throw a bunch of degus together!) Many "rabbit cages" on the market are too small for degus (and too small for rabbits!). A good-sized rabbit cage, multi-levelled, is fine for a few degus. Degus need toys and accessories in their cage, too.One person wrote: Try not to they could chew it up...
