Expert Profile: Carol

Expertise:  I can answer questions about degu care and breeding.

Experience in the area
I breed degus with an emphasis on healthy, social pets.

Education/Credentials
Before obtaining our first pair of octodon degus, I did considerable research. These animals have more misinformation floating about than most pets, and care is easy once you sort fact from fiction.

What do you like about this subject?  Degus are different than most other 'pocket pets' in so many ways, but they are still very easy to care for.
