hey guys!

might be taking in a pair of degus this weekend and was wondering how much its cost any of you degu fanatics to neuter a male?

thanks!

It varies. Your best bet is to phone all of the local vets around you and ask for a price

Ive been advised of one about 5 minutes away but having read up a bit more on it, I dont think ill bother. The impression I get is that theyre not normal rodent breeders in that they arnt constantly up to the naughties popping out 10 babies a week lol.

The girl who is looking to rehome them has worked at pets at home for a few years so shes giving me lots of great advice. But yeah, ill probably avoid spaying for now!

well if your worried about having babies (about 4 litters a yr) then get a same sex pair, if you do get a male and female then you will need to split them up every now and then giving the female a break as the male will inpregnate her as soon as she has had her litter

just be aware there is alot of degus looking for home that were bought as pets and are now unwanted so you have to think hard bout breeding them!!!

Thats a very fair point. The degus im taking in are being rehomed as a male and female pair so I probably will end up having him spayed after all.

cool sounds like a good idea to me wont be long before my male get done

apparently, a vasectomy is a safer and more routine operation on degus so im going to look into that instead! picking them up tommorow so will post pics!
