Hi Mary Are you sure the degu ate the other degu. I had a similar experience a few years ago but it was with a pair of my rats not degus although I have owned degus in the past. I got up one morning and went to check on Tia and Maria to find that Tia had died some how during the night and Maria had decided to eat her. I was absolutly livid but found out that the reason they do it is because if the dead rodent whatever sticks about it can be an invite to predatoes into it's quarters so it's better to kind of hide the body so to speak.
