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!
Why does a degu bite on their cage?
They bite on their cage mainly because, like beavers and bunnies, their teeth will grow and they need to keep it ground down. It might not stop the chewing on the cage, but it will help them a lot if they have something to chew on. They can chew on wooden parrot toys, willow balls, blocks of wood, or branches. Apple branches seem to be a favorite with them. If you buy a toy from the store you should be careful about the dye that is put into them.

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.
