Can you put a hamster with a guinea pig?
I have two degus, and I'm not an expert or anything, but I don't think that's a good idea. If you put two hamsters together then they nearly always fight and kill each other, so I don't think either your degus or hamster would be happy. If you want to keep all of your animals safe, I'd keep the hamster and the degus seperate.

Can male degus live together?
YES if you don't want to breed degus the best option would be to keep males as degus have to live in pairs or groups and females are normally more bitey/stroppy if you want both boys and girls you could get the boys neutered but there is a risk like all animals there is a slight bigger risk with degus as they are smaller than say a dog but i have 3 degus that got neutered last year and they were perfectly fine hope this helped

Generally, no they are not. But some degus may be allergic. They should only have them as a rare treat, though, since degus are severely prone to becoming diabetic. -Mommy of twelve degus. Have had twenty-three.
Can you keep degus in an indoor rabbit cage?
Degus can live indoors no problem (actually, they should live indoors), but the size of the cage is a concern. Degus should live in communities -- at least, there should be two of them, but ideally there should be more than two. (Although, they must be introduced carefully; don't just throw a bunch of degus together!) Many "rabbit cages" on the market are too small for degus (and too small for rabbits!). A good-sized rabbit cage, multi-levelled, is fine for a few degus. Degus need toys and accessories in their cage, too.One person wrote: Try not to they could chew it up... There teeth are very sharp like they can chew stuff like cloths and blankets...
