Listing Description

I am looking for a loving forever home for our sweet Degus, Snowy and Chloe. They are about 2 years old and very bonded. We loved and enjoyed them, but they tend to get forgotten and I am allergic to their hay so cleanings have been difficult. I am located in Palm Bay, FL and am looking for someone who will love them like we have. I have all that is necessary for them and will give it all to you. They require a good amount of space for their pen that is attached to their cage. Let me know if you are interested.
