Can degus swim?
No, degus cannot swim. Degus keep themselves clean by having a weekly sand bath, like chinchillas. You can get chinchilla dust from your local "Pets at Home" store, if you have one; otherwise, many pet stores that sell anything other than cat/dog supplies also sell chinchilla dust and bath containers. To be technical, degus probably can swim because mammals generally do have this ability. However, just because degus can swim doesn't mean they enjoy it, and it doesn't mean a degu won't panic and drown if placed in water, or otherwise suffer (e.g. water in the ear can lead to ear infections, and wet fur can lead to hypothermia and death). For their safety, degus should never be placed in water.
When do degus wake up?
if your degus are like mine they will play for a bit then rest then play then rest
How do you look after baby degus?
you actually can handle them almost immediately as long as the mom trusts you. I wouldn't really take them out of the cage but socializing them is fine. A dust bath won't hurt the babies. I mean, I wouldn't put the babies in the bath since they'll get trampled but giving the adults a bath should be fine. If you're nervous, let the adults leave the cage to take a dust bath. You can sex degus pretty young if you know what to look for. But if you're newer to degus it might be harder to tell until they're older. By four or five weeks you should know for sure. I just look for the size of the gap between their reproductive organs and anus. In females the gap is very small. If you can't get them to stay still, put them in a clear container and look at them from underneath. hope i helped :) x
