Humping is normal for degus regardless of gender and is a sign of dominance over the other degu.
Stores are rubbish at sexing though so you may want to sex them yourself. Both genders have a "sticky out bit" the urethral cone.

Sexing is harder in degu you may want to try yourself or take them to a vet who knows about small animals. Petstores are useless at sexing animals I had to sex a rabbit once cause they couldn't do it, humping like alot of animals is a dominance thing to see who will be the boss it's perfectly normal. Welcome to the forum.
