Have a look at the cage and housing section you may find you enjoy building them a large custom cage

Darling passed away in the night we don't know if it was stress or what but the little boys were squeaking away, there was not a mark on him or the babies and they went to the vets and were given a clean bill of health the vet checked over darlings body and said he couldnt see any reason for it that it could have been the stress of his mishandling at the store, then a new home, then company all combined was to much for a older degu. The babies still unnamed are doing well and being brothers are fine together, they havent chewed the cage or shelves at all because they have been chewing the multiple wood toys and apple wood branch I put in I check on them every few hours anyway and will get them a bigger better cage when money allows right now I am just mourning Darling who despite being with me for such a short time made a massive impression and was so sweet.

Sincere condolences again (see other thread).
I just wanted to say that if you aren't into DIY at all and don't want to have to alter shelves and so on, then I think the Aventura is your best bet. There are other models Xtrail, Royal Suite, Explorer, but not all have metal shelves, you need to make sure you get a metal shelf one if you don't want to do modifications. Littlepetwarehouse sometimes have 10% off codes.
I think you are probably right to give the little ones some time to calm down and settle again before you get them a new cage.

I've no Degu experience but I must say well done for rescuing the little guy cannot believe that pets at home was going to do that when they could have offered him in the adoption centre instead…puts me off being a customer there in future
