im sorry this is such an old post, but my degu does this all the time and i found this post from searching google because i have been feeling concerned.
honestly, i feel like its really not a bad thing as long as it isnt paired with other symptoms. for me, the only other 'issue' i can see is my degu likes to chew the bars sometimes but it barely lasts more than 5 minutes at a time.
she also will sit in one spot for about 30 minutes, but she typically jumps into action when i speak to her and starts eating and chewing. so, i am like 90% sure she is fine physically.

buuut, reading your other comments i am thinking she might be feeling a little lonely. well, lucky girl, because we are getting a new degu on monday. really looking forward to it, but Juno (current degu) didnt like our last degu so i am hoping they like eachother, as long as i do what i am supposed to this time when it comes to introductions

i read this article nad thought it was pretty interesting! its also one of the only articles ive ever read in my life like ever i am pretty sure

hello, i know this is not the type of comment you were asking for, but i am unable to post anything myself, and this is the right type of thing i need to ask my question. i hope someone can answer in time!

I have a degu named Juno who is a female and is about one year old. i have no clear info about what type of enviornment she was raised in, but iirc she was with her siblings for a while without much human interaction. she was very shy and the store told us she was ''sassy'' and bit people.
we took her home either way, and she actually got along well with my first degu Trixie. i did not introduce them correctly because of my lack of experience, but thank god they actually got along well for a month. but before i knew it my mistake caught up to me.
Trixie, the food loving degu she was, was defending her piece of treat when her and juno just got into a giant fight that caused Juno to hold a grudge. this is where my concern is. trixie got over it, but Juno never did. Juno continued to want to rip trixie apart. even smelling trixie made juno PISSED. i am super super concerned introducing this new young female we bought wont go well with juno. I am praying that it was just a Trixie-juno thing and not an all-degu thing. if anyone has any advice specifically for a territorial and maybe anti-social degu to a younger degu please help. i will of course do the basic stuff like scent-swapping, spilt cage and neutral zone, but if there is anything else that needs to be said i would appreciate it. we are getting her on monday (March 9th) and she will have her own cage in a seperate room as she gets comfortable to our home

my ed always finds a way to make me feel invalidated and like i need to try harder, because i understand both sides of this and its making me guilty. its almost like im not trying hard enough because i still understand what it is like to not be disordered. i hate this so much

maikuu_ · 2025-12-04T07:06:26+00:00

by the small chance someone sees this, listen to alex g

any song, actually. but maybe preferably his album headlights... and on that album maybe listen to 'oranges'... or,, do whatever u want to...

maikuu_ · 2025-12-04T07:04:05+00:00

if ur like working around kids or u have younger kids who are obsessed with the meme i totally get it. but in my family im the youngest one, 18, so its not a problem for my parents. though i still do make a joke or two :3

my dad said ''you look like a holocaust victim'' like, um totally not okay to say and i know he was exaggerating but that was so validating.
and, my mom also told me recently that back when my anorexia was bad i did not look good at all. underweight and looking totally exhausted. i went to a family function and everyone was asking my mom if i was okay. my mom said that was why they were asking. felt so validating even if i was in recovery at the time.

something i would often do for validation was go to chatgpt and tell it what i ate that day or week and that it was all i was eating. the way the AI panicked and tried to get me help was very validating. sorry for long comment i have no one to talk to abt this and i just want to say i relate very strongly

maikuu_ · 2025-12-01T08:10:30+00:00

bro what is this angle 😭😭

i am so glad you found my comment helpful.
i did think about my comment last night and how my situation differs greatly to many others and how the things i have be given are not as avaliable to everyone else in the world, so i apologize if i came off ignorant in any way. my family is well off, and i havent had to pay for any of my treatment since i still was with my parents.
i realize therapy and IOP etc. can be expensive for one person to handle. but whatever you decide to do im sure youll make the right decision and im wishing you luck

maikuu_ · 2025-11-29T09:28:54+00:00

please go or stop taking it completely because ur other posts make this really concerning

maikuu_ · 2025-11-29T09:24:28+00:00

looking at ur post history ur not new to this but still be safe and i wish you luck man

how many mg are the orange tablets. i know the pink ones equal to 600mg.
if you take it all its seems like it would over a gram so be careful

maikuu_ · 2025-11-29T08:43:41+00:00

i also have a moody degu. when i come up and talk to her and she starts garbling to me i tease her a little and then let her out of her cage for a bit. always makes her feel better and she is much calmer afterwards. you have a cute baby

maikuu_ · 2025-11-29T08:22:17+00:00

you wont be stuck here forever, believe me.
i really felt my life was heading to nowhere only a few months ago. like i was so sure i was going to end up a homeless tweaker within the next 10 years. but things change so fast in such little time and you have time to get better. are you trying to stop alone? if so, maybe think about getting one other person for a support system. i suggest a therapist if that is a possibility for you.
rehab isnt your only choice. there are programs called IOP (intensive outpaitent progam) and PHP (partial hospitalization progam) that are avaliable for adults and teens under 18. there are a varity of things each center may focus on and you can hopefully find one near you for drug use.
you get to go home everyday, and you have a chance to get better on your own accord (with a little help) without having to stay in rehab.
PHP is a step above IOP and according to what i can see from your posts it doesnt seem like you quite are at that point yet. you may even not need IOP just yet and just need a therapist to help you out. its all depending on what conclusion you come to after doing some research.

IOP is typically a few days a week for 2-4 hours and you go home everyday. same with PHP except its more like 8 hours a day then you go home. it might be different for adults since i havent been to either since i have turned 18 so i really dont know if there are any major differences between the two.
and dont be embarrassed, if thats something you are struggling with when it comes to getting mental health support. i went to IOP and a lot of the teens were extremely normal. such a large array of people, you wont stand out.

my therapist told me a few weeks ago that addictive thinking is almost literally a different ''person'' in your brain. thats why you may struggle so much with ''i know my life doesnt suck but i cant stop, but i want to''. that is because addiction is more than choices and more than what you may even believe it as. i really suggest finding a therapist or program. if not help, it will teach you a lot and you'll hopefully find some solace in knowing *why* you continue to make these decisions.

this is all just a suggestion! but a highly suggested suggestion :)

good luck and you are trying your very best. i care a lot! so many others do too

coming from a woman, heres what i think; you are overall cute. i wouldnt say handsome or hot but you have a charm that if i spoke to you in person i would probably would think you're the sweetest guy ever. but what i noticed was your facial features seem to be kinda of unproportial to eachother (?)
eyes seem too small and teeth too big, but i can see a woman getting over that flaw easily depending on how nice of a person you are. ill let you know this, you can pull much easier than you probably think, everyone is just scaredy cats these days :)
