No guinea pigs cannot there wouldn't be enough space and guinea pigs aren't supposed to use exercise wheels that are usely in hampster cages (because they can easily hurt themselves).

Can you use a rat cage for a hamster?

Yes, you can use a fish tank as hamster cage and it works really well ~ better than some of the wire cages because there is no chance of the hamster's feet getting caught in the wire. The tanks are easy to clean and provide a lot of room for a wheel and toys for your hamsters. Just make sure to get the wire lids that are made for the tank and tank clips if your wheel or toys are very tall.

Are guinea pigs and hamsters compatible?

I wouldn't try to house them together as the guinea pig is going to get a lot larger then the hamster. It can be done hamsters can be put with guinea pigs. I had a hamster and a guinea pig together at one time because they were both alone. As long as you watch them a while when you first do it to make sure they don't fight then it should work out fine. I had a golden hamster i wouldn't try it with a dwarf hamster or anything that small. But as long as they don't fight and the guinea pig don't hog all the food then it should be ok. But if you have more then 1 hamster and more than 1 guinea pig i would not try it. THIS ANSWER IS CRAZY HAMSTERS AND GUINEA PIGS SHOULD NEVER BE HOUSED TOGHETHER. JUST BECAUSE IT WORKED ONCE DOES NOT AND I REPEAT DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL WORK OUT IN MOST CASES!!!!!!! This answer is horrible. No, they can NEVER be housed together. A guinea pig can only be housed with another guinea pig! do NOT put a guinea pig and hamster together, the guinea pig is going to get much bigger than the hamster. plus they need different foods. (MRS.TYLER22) Well first off i have 4 guinea pigs and 2 hamsters and for play time when i do not feel like letting them run around the room i put the inside of this really large plastic tote that i use to use to put my clothes in (very spacious) all of them and they just play in there together no fighting just playin but i do not allow them to sleep with the guinea pigs remind you that this is just for play time.Every animal is different you might just have to try your animals together on a trial basis because noone can say that they cant play or that they can every animal again is DIFFERENT!!!!


What can you use for guinea pigs for exercise?

You can buy them one of those wheels that you put in the cage or a ball you put the guinea pig in and it runs around in the house. Ok first of all please do NOT buy a ball. Guinea pigs do not have the spine that a hamster has a ball could injure your guinea pig. Guineas need an hour of exercise daily set up a room for your pigs to run around in or teach them to go up and down the step.
