Degus found abandoned in bathtub

11 Jun 2012

Blue Cross has rescued two degus abandoned in a bathtub.

Chilli and Nacho were found in a pet carrier in the tub after a house eviction. Luckily they were discovered in time and brought to our Burford rehoming centre.

A veterinary check revealed that the pair were in good health but sadly Nacho was blind – not that he lets it stand in his way at all.

Both degus are really active and sociable and they’ve now been rehomed. If you’d like to know more about these fun pets, read our special degu factsheet.
