[video description: the bottom of a degu's cage, where four wooden discs are strung through a length of horizontal wire. the degu jumps into frame, and starts to spin and chew the wooden discs frantically. he stands on his back legs to do so, but changes his exact angle of approach often. the discs all show evidence of already having been chewed, and are about the size of his head by diameter, /end description]

most degus, you give them enrichment toys & they're happy to have them. you give snufkin anything to chew & it's like handing design specs to an autistic contractor. you have given him A Task and by damn is he going to do it well. he will stand here until the discs are gone. he says to you "alright boss it'll be done in three days" and you say there isn't a deadline??? you weird little man no one is paying you??? and he can't hear you over the noise of the discs spinning. he is a reincarnated woodshop lathe. he will be doing this for the next hour. you will consider getting an amazon dash button for palm-sized discs of wood
