They're really very different animals and it depends on what sort of pet you're looking for.

I would recommend a hamster for most people because ferrets are a lot of work if you want to care for them properly. Hamsters can be quite happy in a cage but ferrets are much more active and really need about as much space as a Jack Russell.

I think that hamsters make poor pets as they are nocturnal and sleep during the day. They can be quite noisy at night. For me, it would be ferrets every time (but expect to give just as much attenetion as you would a dog). Nosniboro

Ferrets have been used for centuries in rodent control and extermination and has a natural instinct to hunt and kill mice, rats, rabbits, etc (any rodent). Ferrets natural instinct might perceive any rodent type pet as prey and attack mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, they should not be allowed to interact or be housed together. Yes, If you keep them together

they will both fight for it but you will probably find them both dead as well as if only one of them would be killed it would be the hamster because gerbils carry a disease that is toxic to hamsters.

It stops being hungry for a while. Nothing, ferrets are carnivores (meat eaters) and perceive rodents as prey

A ferret needs to have a very large cage. A hamster cage would be too small and is not appropriate for a ferret.

I don't think guinea pigs actually EAT hamsters. They may get in a fight though. Anyways, don't even try to do that! What are you a hamster abuser?
