We have two males very sweet boys, we have had them for almost a year and as total beginners we had no experience of degus. while my daughter loves them to bits she’s a teenager who is out more and more with friends and the care and needs have fallen on me. I know they need a home with someone who has more time to handle and play with them. I would have re homed them already if I wasn’t so worried they might end up with another owner like us who wasn’t well advised. and I don’t want them to end up being re homed again knowing how complex their needs can be. Does anyone have any advice.

They would be re homed with the cage and all accessories so they feel most at home.

Somebody may see this post and be interested, so I've added your location to the title. You may wish to add a bit more information about their age and the cage.
There is a degu rehoming group on facebook. I wonder if a local pet rescue would be able to assist in vetting new owners, or perhaps they might know someone responsible who would be interested.

Ok thank you I will look in to that. I’m in no rush and hanging on to them until the right thing comes along. We bought them from a petting zoo so it’s hard to put an age on them they have been with us 11 months very sweet happy to be handled (once they get to know you). The cage has been modified as we had some issues initially over space I will find the exact model we have and add those details but we have added a full length floor and some quarter levels to make life happier for them

firsttimedegumum unfortunately two males cannot be housed together with a female because it usually causes them to fight over the female.

Sorry I haven’t been in here in a while, we have had a family bereavement after a long term sickness and things have been really up in the air, anyway I thought I best come on here to update you. We still have our goo’s I didn’t find anything for them better than what they have here with us. Originally I felt we weren’t giving them the best they could have (as we were slightly clueless) but I’m going to put it down to a wobble on my part and feeling a little overwhelmed at the time, we’ve had them for over a year now and they are still thriving so we are capable goo slaves! I’m not sure if you can take down the thread or change the name to remove the re homing part.
thank you everyone for trying to help me with this also :-)

I'm glad you're going to give your guys another go - degus can be incredibly frustrating, but also amazing! I can't imagine life without them  |

sammyanthap, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Grief is so terribly overwhelming and it makes it very hard to know what you truly feel and can do or not do. It's a difficult passage. I am also very glad to hear that you are keeping your boys! I think you have always been the right home for them.
