全体的な雰囲気は、いわゆる専門書ではなく、あくまでも飼育入門編となっているので、初心者でもニュアンスが掴みやすいのではないかと思います。ただ日本の環境と異なる部分もありますので、注意が必要です。たとえば日本ではまだデグーを診られる獣医が少ないと思いますが、病気や怪我の項目では「まずは獣医に任せた方が安心」という記述が多く見られます。
まずは手元に置いておきたい一冊、として購入してみてはいかがでしょう?
This manual is loaded with illustrations on housing, feeding, handling and medical care. A particularly useful section describes all of the typical places in the household that represent hazards to these agile little creatures. The photos and drawings are excellent and show Degus doing what Degus do, which seems to revolve around being cute and fun loving most of the time.

The emphasis of this book is on understanding and nurturing your degu. Since much of caring for unfamiliar pets revolves around knowing what is normal, Dr. Vanderlip has taken particular care to describe, in simple detail, the expected norms, such as how degus look and act from birth to adulthood, and what do they do when they feel good. Veterinarians will find this to be a handy reference for examining and treating degus, which are growing in popularity as small pets.
