Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question.
I just wanted to know when a degu is considered adult and what age do they stop growing.

a male degu can be sexually mature from the age of 9 months. at this time they are likely to fight for dominance in a group.
On average the degu will continue to grow slowly until a year old at which point they are deemed as adults.

Thanks Meg. That has surprised me i didn't realise they would continue to grow for a whole year. My two are just 9 weeks and already have little spats, i have given them 2 food dishes already as suggested and will no doubt be on here again asking for advice as other problems arise
