Pirate (& Parrot)

Meet Pirate (& Parrot)!

Hi, I'm Pirate and this is my friend, Parrot. We're a friendly pair of male Degus looking for a new home.

We're not a species of animal that NAWT typically rehomes, but they received an urgent call after we were found abandoned in a carrier bag outside a shop and no other organisations were able to help us. So they took us in and now we're hoping to find a loving new home. We're a very sweet pair, Parrot is really confident, he's happy to be picked up and handled, and he quite enjoys climbing up to sit on your shoulder so that you can take him on a tour of the house. I'm a little more reserved, but I still like to come over and say hello, and I'll happily let you stroke me on the head. You might notice that I only have one eye (hence the name Pirate!), this has been the case for a long time and it does not cause me any problems or impact my life at all.

We love to explore with lots of branches, platforms, tunnels and dig boxes to keep us busy and would love to continue having a variety of enrichment offered to us in our new home. We will need an enclosure that is a minimum of 120cm x 90cm x 60cm so we have room for lots of activities.
