Hi, im new to the forum.
I have had my two 'male' degus for 5 months and they are 8 months old. Came home last night to 2 lie babies and a dead baby! I was very shocked to say the least. I seperated daddy from mummy and babies but both parents wer quite distressed.
So i put them back together today, and jester (male) is having a trip to the exotic vets on monday to be neutered because him and bailey get on too well to split them up =] Bailey has been very friendly taking food from my hands and having little tickles.
Any advice as to what i do with my babies, how to get them sexed, where i can find them a suitable home and when i can rehome them!
Fern

Hi
what a lovely suprise!
You need to seperate the dad from the mum for the first 4 days otherwise he could make her pregnant again,as he has already still been in with the mum it might already be to late,you will just have to wait and see .After the 4 days he can go back with her.
The babies can be rehomed at 6 weeks.
Where abouts do you live as I am looking for babies.
lol.

I live near manchester, i spoke to the vet before and told the vet id put them back together and he said its ok, although i might have to expect another litter, but there should be no trouble after that with me having him neutered! But bailey is so calm she looks like a natural . It was a lovely surprise though at 12.30 am last night haha =]

Oh what a shame you are to far from me.I would love to give them a home.
It is easy to sex when they a little bigger,watch a youtube clip on sexing degus.
