How can you tame a Degu?
This may take a while but it is possible to tame degu. Not all degu can be tamed, so be aware of this. Now, your degu may be a bit fast and if you try to hold them they may try to run away, so i would get a cheap tent from argos or somewhere like that. Make sure to get one that is fully sealed so that your degu cannot escape, hold them in this tent every day and after a while they will get to know you and they will start to get tamer :D

Can a dagus live with gerbils?
I'm assuming that by "dagus", you mean "degu". It's pronounced "day-goo", but that's how it's spelled is 'degu'. It's a cross between a kangaroo-rat, and a gerbil. A kangaroo-rat isn't a kangaroo and a rat, it's just a type of rat just like a pitbull is a type of dog, not it's own species. A degu is a fussy animal. If you get a degu at a very young age, you can put another degu in that young from another litter, or the same litter, but they tend to bond with the owner, and don't want to share attention which is why you don't want to have a degu for a long period of time, and then put a baby, or full grown degu in that same cage. Although a degu is part gerbil, it's not a good idea to put a gerbil in the cage with it. Degu's are feisty, and just want attention from the owner. You can do this if you'd like, but I have the most friendly degu, and she was very, very aggressive when even another degu was put in her cage.
Should you get your degu a male playmate or a female?
This all depends on what gender your degu is. If you have a male degu, you should get a male degu, but if you have a female degu you should get a female degu. In other words you should get same sex pairs. But oviously if you want to breed get a male and a female, but be warned they breed like crazy!
How old should you be to look after a degu?
You should be atleast 6 years old. You can be older but you have to have responcibility over your pet. The degu is like a large hamster, some are vicious and some are friendly. i would recomend a degu as a pet.
