That's likely to cause harm to the animal's spine. Next is you should always offer hay, it's the main food source for degus and should be available at any time. Instead of that hamster cotton (that's what it is called here) you could use toilet paper. Considering the price of your camera, you can probably afford paying a bit more for your degu's home ;)
seriously, I don't want to be smart-a**ing, but you should get a bigger cage for those two. The german vet office advises a size of at least 100 x 50 x 100 cm for small groups, the bigger the better. Also you might want to consider having several full layers in your cage, which gives a lot more room in total. In addition your flying saucer seems to be too small, from watching the degu run in it you can tell that he is directed right too strongly.
loving the flying saucer wheel, gonna replace my standard wheel with one of those. Looks like one of your deg's has had some hair shaved on the top of it's back? Was that for an in injury?
@cantankerousters The bald patch is usually caused by the other degu overgrooming. It usually grows back as good as new and isn't something to be overly concerned about unless it becomes inflamed.
@lianay2kuk Yeah, they normally getting from being bored to be honest. It happened to my degus a lot, until I started changing their cage around ever few weeks to keep them entertained.
I used to have a degu called Gringo. Oh the love!! I miss him.

That saucer exercise wheel is awesome. It looks a lot safer than the vertical wheels (if it were to fall the degu could jump out).
