Two degus are much, much better.Two are better because degus are very social animals and absolutely crave attention. You could get one though, if you gave it lots of attention everyday.

Are degus allowed in Australia?

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.

Can you keep degus in an indoor rabbit cage?
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...
