five to eight years is a healthy life span of a degu, mine is six right now so I'm sad that he might die soon... they live longer with a companion but be careful they don't fight because they will fight to the death.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by this question. Degus are shaped like a degu.
No, degus do not hibernate. -Owner of twelve degus. Have had twenty-three.
Degus are not well-suited for living outdoors as they are sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity. They are best kept indoors in a well-ventilated and controlled environment to ensure their health and well-being.
In captivity, degus typically live between 5 to 8 years, but some have been known to live up to 10 years with proper care, including a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and regular veterinary check-ups.
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 degu live outside
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...
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
The life span of an average Degu is typically around 6-8 years of age.
A pair of degu's from pets at home is about £40.1 Degu is £25 but 2 degus are £40.
No. Degus are rodents, and rodent are not marsupials.
baby degus are called pups
In piles with other degus and in their FLAT topped houses.
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.

Degus are native to the South American country Chile. They can be found wild from central Chile to southern Pero. Degus can also be found in some parts of the Andes mountains up to a max altitude of 2000m.
