When I first joined here.. I had 4 degus "and my Female got some babies 6 of them.." but Because of sickness I lost my well aged male Jumbo and Female Josefine.. So I only have Lucifer and Damien left.. but Damien have been moved and I am getting a new Female "for Lucifer" I hope he won't be to lonely the 2 weeks he is alone.... my First Degu was Lucifer and he is doing all kind of things I can make him come out and run and come back well I call and he likes when I am scratcing him behind the ears  if I am gone for a day he is very wild when I come home again to him he just want to come out and sit on my hand etc all the time |

Can i ask why you want another female? Wouldnt your life be alot easierwith just males?

I have to agree with aimeelou, a mixed sex set up can be more complicated than keeping single sexes, as you have to add into the equation all the possibilities of breeding!

yeah, i've already figured that if by some freak of nature one of my degus has babies, and i can't get rid of the babies, i'm just going to buy another cage and keep boys in one cage and girls in another. one litter is enough! plus, you know, breeding them shortens their life span...

My advice would to "stick to what youve got"!
Youve had lots of ups and downs with your Degus since you got them, are you sure you want to upset the balance, like now youve got them to come to you and they know you? Having a female is going to cause alot of trouble amongst youre little boys.......

Its not easy having Degu's of both Sex then you have a problem with mating. Babies and again different sex. I hear its not good to inter breed. I would stick to the same sex. Just my 2 cents.
