Crisis averted, thanks to Karen (Jess' mom, that is). I may still be interested in finding him a new home, if someone out there really wants him and has time to get him socialized.
I have to find another home for my
Degu. I can't afford to care for him. Right now he needs bedding and food (around $15 total that hell need right away), but otherwise he comes with all the stuff he needs to be happy. If you want him, or know anyone who does, let me know asap. Thanks.
