Well, they were brothers and over five years old. I knew their time was near and one passed away. That is not the only problem because now the other one has changed its attitude totally. He was never the one to be handled much but now I can't even pick him up he is so scared. There are times when he does circles in his cage and runs in and out of his logs. It seems like he is looking for his brother but can not find him. I am not sure what I can do for him. Getting another Degu seems like the obvious option but the fact is, even the brothers used to fight and a non family member would prolly kill each other. Any suggestions?
