How long have you had them? Where did you get them? How old are they? I would take them to your vet asap!

They were BORN march 5th hte first degu to die i thought was strangled on the wheel but i guess not!! .. these degu's seem to be really selfish with there food and will attack the other who is eating. i woke up this morning to find out my degu was hurt and dying slowly her top 2 teeth have been removed. looked like from bitting. i dont know if its the male or female doing this... i dont know what to do i only have one baby left now and "he" is alone no more sister's

I agree with ra, to the vet now. And then get your degus multiple or a bigger food bowl. My boys were fighting terribly at first at dinner time, until i got two bowls. Now they can all eat at the same time.

As a vet, believe me: go see one before it is too late!

i split the father away form the mother and the only baby i have left.... and i just bought 2 males there in another cage away from them .... i think its just all a selfish act .. the male fought the babies and won.... thats why now he sits alone in another cage... i guess you can call it Degu prison

If i where you id take a realy good look at our posts on introducing Degus, and make sure your Degus get checked up at the vet.

Are you saying the father of your babies fought with his babies and hurt them? From what I have read Degu fathers are not aggressive towards their own children. How very odd.
