Guice Guice Baby . <| sep |> A YOUNG WARTHOG ! <| sep |> Stop playing cs , go ice the wrist , and do stretches . Come back to CS in a week and minimize your time on the computer . I have the same issue and it gets better the less you play . I ' m taking a one week break for the joints to heal . If it ' s very bad see a doctor . <| sep |> Yep ! I live in Illinois , and have run into some through the rescue I foster for . They aren ' t terribly common and pet stores are very unlikely to have them unless they deal with exotics a lot . I would check craigslist , bookoo , and hoobly before all else . I see them once in a while on these types of sites . Otherwise , try an exotic animal expo . Same rules apply as rats always house in pairs and keep in a well ventilated , tall cage . Critter nations with metal bases work well as degus are more prone to chewing . I housed mine in a prevue hendryx 490 with a lot of rope and bird perches . They love to climb ! The big difference is diet . They are herbivores , and have to have a strict pellet and hay diet , as they are essentially borderline diabetic , so too much sugar can spell disaster .
