Not sure what to title this???

OK, got my new degus that I adopted , I just brought them home put them in cage an let them get used to everything before I handle them much. OK they are supposed to be 2 males father and son in fact, but I have noticed an awful lot of sexual interactions between them , is this kinda normal, or do you think maybe I ended up with maybe a boy and a girl , or is it a dominance kinda thing???

I not an expert but my to young boys do the same and talk alot chasing each other a round. Think it is a dominance thing.
If father and son you will be able to tell by looking at there sticky outy bits. The gap between the 2 holes on a girly is very small but boys have a much bigger gap at lest 1cm
Hope this helps

Oh my they are doing this all the time, the one who is supposed to be the son cant hardly even get a drink of water , without being attacked from behind , if ya know what I mean!!! Let me tell ya, these guys have really made a first impression on their first day here!!!!

I suspect that since they are in a new home, with new smells and nothing familiar, they are in a frenzy of re-establishing who's in charge. Don't be surprised if it goes on for a while.

Sounds like they are just deciding whos going to be the boss in their new suroundings, dont panic! And it will take some time so it might be a regular sight for a while!
If you are a little unsure of their sex you should check out their "bits" just to make sure they match

I have noticed that their activity has seemed to slow down some today, so maybe they have worked everything out, or wore themselves out yesterday, still havent been able to flip either of them over as to get idea, of what is under there, but as I get them more used to me, I will try to take a peek!!!!
