Hi, last week one of my 3 year old male degus died due to a possible stroke leaving his brother (Crash) on his own. I am looking for a baby male degu to introduce to Crash. Or maybe a pair of male degu pups. Does anyone know where to find them? I need them less than 8 weeks when they are being introduced to Crash. So i will need to get them as young as possible.

Any details of any breeders would be much appriciated.

Many thanks
Ryan

You would probably be better of getting a pair of pups, otherwise you will be in the same position again when your older 1 runs to the bridge.

I can't help with breeders but some rescues could have degus in. You might not find as many with pups but you might find singles or groups of degu with a similar age range to yours, which is still possible to bond if you do it the right way.

Sorry to hear about your little fluff.

Rest in peace my lovely furfamily that are no longer with us.

ok. Thanks, I have been thinking about getting a degu of the same age as Crash, but it seemed that they are likely to fight. And having pups introduced will hopefully form a bond between Crash and the new pups, causing less fights. Thats the plan anyway :P
