I definately think theres enough of a gap on both to be male.

I looked again and i think i see what you guys are talking about so im pretty sure hes a male. And i work at an exotic animal sanctuary in florida. We had a pair of degus we had rescued and were told they wouldnt mate. They ended up mating and it kinda got out of control. My boss had seperated them and we thought we had it figured out but a few months later i found out we had males and females together because i found a few dead babies and a few half-dead. I took home 5 of them and 4 died over a couple days.. And my degu now is the one that survived and hes like 9 weeks old today.

Aw! what a shame, well done for the survivor though! Its meant to be nigh on impossible to hand rear a degu pup, at least he has a friend now though! Theres a very good, almost fool-proof guide (not that im calling you a fool lol) to sexing degus on the degutopia website, theres a little video showing exactly what to do, they also have a guide on how to introduce two degus aswell.
Good luck, and if you get stuck, theres plenty of people can offer advice on most degu- related problems right here.
