Do I put all off them in one cage???? Hello I'm new here, but need some advice I have six degus which I have rescued I have two pairs and two singles would any body know would it be safe to put them all in one cage they are all not the same ages Oh! yes sorry one is a male I not to sure about breeding yet so I would like to keep him out at the moment all the rest are females would they fight at first and then settle down or not I'm not to sure I know in all the books it says that they live together but it never happen like that in real life so what want to know is would any body out there take a chance and put all the females in one cage ???? THANK's I do hope that some one out there can help Yes, the females can all live together (and should, they're very social animals). You can't just throw them together, though, they need to be introduced slowly. I usually start by putting the cages right next to each other. I mix bedding between the cages and give them the same dust bath to use. You should do that for a week or two to get them used to each others scents. Then you can start doing short intro meetings in neutral territory (the bath tub works great for that). The meetings should be kept very, very short
