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 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.
