Congrats Joneric, it's funny - my sister has degus also. They had them at the pet store but the people there didn't know what to do with them so they were almost giving them away. My sister would own a zoo if she could so she took them off their hands. They're pretty cool.
Uh, got a haircut two weeks ago. No, three now. I have a good barbershop. But not a barbershop quartet. There are 5 barbers there so it must be a barbershop quintet.
