Where can I buy a degu in Auckland?

Degus are cute, I used to have four when I lived in Finland. Where could I get them in Auckland? Thanks for any help!

Update:

Thanks to all for your answers! I found out from an Auckland pet store that there aren't any degus here (or shuldn't be) and you cannot import them, in case they bring foreign germs and sickness. That's a shame.

    I've been looking everywhere online since I saw this question, and I can not find anything. ): I assume degus aren't very well known in New Zealand, huh? That worries me, because I wonder if the ones that are there, if they are cared for and fed properly. :x (overprotective degu owner. x3)

    You should check http://www.gumtree.co.nz/ every so often, because you might be able to find someone who can't take care of theirs anymore, and are looking for a new home.

    There is also http://degus.com/babydegus.html , but a majority of people that post there are from the USoA and Canada, so chances of finding someone in Auckland post there is very slim.

    And also check newspaper classifieds, and shelters as they might have some degus for adoption.

    I will try my best to see if I can find any other places or sites that may advertise the adoption of degus.

    Good luck!
