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
