This little one was found in an abandoned house with rats, mice, gerbils all in one cage. The rescue thought this was probably a degu. I just want to make sure I get the right food as I know degus require a fairly specific diet.

Yes, degus need a completely sugar-free diet with hardly any treats or fruit at all. They also need a totally solid thick-barred wire cage (or one with a metal tray at the bottom) as they can chew their way out of anything with ease.
Definitely join a degu forum for this little critter.
You didn't attach an image though, I would have loved to have seen him - they are so cute-looking.

Are you sure that it is a Degu? There is a few people on the gerbils forum that have had Degus for pets. Please post a picture of your new small animal pet?

I have degus currently right now so if you do want to post anything here you can, I just thought a degu forum would be a better choice.
But please post a picture so we can know for sure.
