Hi All I got 2 boys and 1 girl.... I have read some place, that degu males will fight to death, if I put all 3 together.... Anyone know if that's right Information here in Denmark, about Degu's, is near to nothing. I feel really bad having them in 2 cages, leaving one alone....

Yes, that's right, they will fight if you put them all together. They will, of course, also breed!! Breeding is not something to be taken lightly.
You could get another little girl for your lone degu, as they are very sociable and she will be very lonely. :-)
Everyone here is very friendly and will try to answer any questions you have! Welcome to the forum.

You can either have both males neutered, and keep all three together, or have the males together in one cage, and in a different room have your female with another female. They should be away from the males so the males cant smell them and fight over them.

Okie thank you, just wanted to be sure.... I have 2 cage's right now.... 1 male alone and the other together with the female.... But that's just until they have breed...
Breeding is serious no matter what animal ;-)

if you keep the female with the male until they breed, you need to keep the male with her with the young. the male helps raise the young. You should then look to getting the male neutered asap.
