Hi, welcome to the forum and the weird world of degus.

The cages that we recommend for two degus are the Aventura www.littlepetwarehouse.co.uk/products/metal-aventura-huge-metal-rat-ferret-chinchilla-cage.html?utm_medium=googleshopping&utm_source=bc&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInZmUney41wIVDRHTCh385wCREAQYAiABEgKN8_D_BwE and the Liberta 2nd edition www.cagesworld.co.uk/p/Liberta_2nd_Edition_Explorer_Rat,_Ferret_and_Chinchilla_Cage.htm?product_id=546848&utm_source=pla&affiliate=CGW-google-shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInZmUney41wIVDRHTCh385wCREAQYASABEgJ7xPD_BwE

Both of these cages are a good size, but can be modified by adding extra levels etc. They are also all metal so they're chew proof.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Degus are a law unto themselves, but are also wonderful little guys.

Hi Degumom and welcome!

The two cages savvycat has linked for you are the only ones that nearly meet cage size requirements available at the moment.

You could also try the Savic Rat Royale XL as that does actually meet recommended sizes but it can be pricey.

Lots of people self build! There's some great guides on the forum

It's quite easy to add additional full levels in to the above cages too. You just need to extend the half levels - we have guides on here. If you were able to that (not straight away but whenever you feel you can) the degus would greatly appreciate the extra space! Going above minimum recommendations is always better if possible xx

Please ask us any questions! We are happy to help
