Blumeau has been through several relocations. He was taken by a private owner from a rodent shelter in the Netherlands to live with her two other degus. Unfortunately both other animals died and she was left with Blumeau. Because there were no other degus left in the shelter, she decided to give the animal to Stickting AAP. They contacted De Zonnegloed and now Blumeau can enjoy a permanent home here.

Winston comes from a school for special education where he was kept together with another degu as a pet for the pupils. As the school didn't have enough space to place a bigger enclosure for the animals, the management decided to find another place for them.
