Right now your remaining degu is probably very upset and confused and mourning the loss of her sister. Did she see the body and understand what happened? You can try to spend time with her and make a fuss of her so she has some comfort and company from you, this is the best thing for a couple of weeks.
You are doing the right thing in thinking about getting her some company, she does need degu companionship, but she won't come to any harm for a couple of weeks, her grief will outweigh her loneliness for a while.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your degu, but as Moletteuk says she'll still be in mourning and will need to be left without an immediate replacement for a bit. I actually have a degu who has lived on her own for over a year now, although I've made various plans to find her some friends, and she is absolutely fine, bouncing around like anything  I know every degu's different and has a different personality but I think she wouldn't be harmed in any way by having a bit if time on her own, espiecially if you spend extra time with her and so on |
