Are degus nocturnal?

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.

How do baby degus feed?

Baby degus feed on their mother's milk for the first few weeks of life. They will suckle from her teats as they grow and develop. After a few weeks, they may also start nibbling on solid food, gradually transitioning to a diet similar to that of adult degus.


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...


How fast are degus?

Degus are fast runners and can reach speeds of up to 15 miles per hour (24 kilometers per hour) when they are motivated or startled. They are agile and quick on their feet, which helps them escape from potential predators in the wild.
