Does the species Octodon degus, known in English as the degu, have an accepted name in E-o? I'm using 'deguo' as a guess.

How about the more common gerbil? Does that have an E-o name?

Thanks in advance!

The second one is easy - gerbilo appears even in small dictionaries like Wells or McLinen. But deguo is not even in the PIV 2005 (and 'degu' is not even in Benson), so I suggest either coining a neologismo deguo, or translating 'brush-tailed rat' (which is what this creature is) as brosovosta rato.
