Question

I am considering getting a Degu is it best to get more than one, and please could you give me information

Answer 1

YES it is better to get more than one. They thrive on living in societies.

Answer 2

Yes definitely get more than one as Degus become depressed if they are housed alone, make sure to get two of the same s*x unless you want hundreds of babies all over the place which wont score you good owner points!

Do your research before obtaining Degus as they are very suceptable to Diabetes if they have too much sugar in their diet. Make sure to stick to a very low sugar diet and only feed diet suitable for degus, not chinchillas as they make contain raisins such as Charlie Chinchialla. A bit of carrot is good for degus but nothing more as lots of things contain too much sugar!

I've got 2 degus coming in my pet shop tomorrow and I'm quite excited as i havnt looked after them for a while, thanks from me for asking this question, gives me a change to wipe the dust off the top of my degu knowledge!

Good Luck!
