Question

Answer 1

Meaning two female degus going to have pups?

Then yes, they can stay in the same cage. ^-^ They will share their pups with each other, feeding them and taking care of them all, even if they aren't theirs. If one mom needs to take a break from the pups, then the second mom will take care of them all while the first mom relaxes for a bit, and vise versa.  Degus are excellent parents.

Even in the wild, degus do the same thing. If a couple of females are going to have pups at around the same time, all of them will share the pups. Feeding any pup that is hungry, snuggling with them all, etc.

Good luck. ^-^

Answer 2

take out the dad or he'll impregnate the mom again immediately. if they have the pups and they're still together, he will get her pregnant again but help to raise the pups. so if you don't notice the pups 'til it's too late, you may as well leave him in, but if you catch it in time, separate them as getting pregnant immediately after birth isn't good for her hormones or body.
