It's not a very easy process. Some degus may never get along, some may be best of friends. I suggest you check the following link for tips on how to do so. http://www.paw-talk.net/forums/f12/introducing-degus-31349.html

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.


Are degus nocturnal?

No, degus do not hibernate. -Owner of twelve degus. Have had twenty-three.


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.


I am planning to buy a degu do you need 2 degus or is 1 ok?

Degus are social animals and it is recommended to keep them in pairs or groups to prevent loneliness and promote their well-being. If you only have one degu, be prepared to spend a lot of time interacting with and providing companionship for your pet.

Can you put 2 degus from the same litter with 1 degu that isn't?

This is probably not a very good idea. Degus are amazingly sociable, but two from different litters tend not to get along as well. If you find that they are good friends, then it might be okay, but if I were you, I don't know if I would chance it. You can always separate the cage with chicken wire so they can still be with each other without ripping each other apart.
