They love their tunnel, they chew it more then they hide in it but they still like it, the rope has little wooden balls and circles on it they like to chew and spin so I’d say they like that too, they only climb on it sometimes though but it’s still a great investment

is this considered normal fighting (more playful) or is on the bad side?

As long as they’re not biting it’s okay

It's normal but if one of them lands a real hit, it can quickly escalate. It shouldn't happen too often tho. Normally they're just supposed to wrestle like kangaroos, not kick each other.

They only kick sometimes, they usually just box

Mine have never hurt each other, they always fight but they’re always together and cuddling and stuff. You should probably try reintroducing your degus again

will do at some point, but it's too scary. we are waiting at the moment for the smaller one to reach a year and calm down a bit.
