Preguntas Frecuentes

Can degus live alone?▼

No — degus are highly social and must live in pairs or groups. A solitary degu will become stressed, depressed, and may develop behavioral problems or health issues. Same-sex groups work best.

Are degus good pets for families?▼

Degus are excellent family pets because they are active during the day, social, and enjoy interaction. They can learn tricks and respond to their names. However, their strict dietary needs require responsible ownership.

How big of a cage do degus need?▼

Degus need large, multi-level cages with solid floors (not wire — they injure feet). Minimum size is 24x24x24 inches for a pair, but larger is better. They need a metal exercise wheel (12+ inches), shelves, and things to chew.
