Yes, I'm pretty sure rodents aren't carnivores.
CONTRIBUTION: Having owned multiple hamsters, I have seen hamsters attack one another and get pretty violent over territory. Had a docile older male in a 50g fish tank converted into a terrarium, so there was plenty of room. I dropped the younger one in, and no more and he touched ground, the older jumped on the younger and took a 1/2 inch square chunk out of his back.
Long story short, don't try it.

∙ 15y agoUnfortunately, prior relations between these two species has been marked by rancor and hostility arising from the genus wars of the 19th century. It is recommended that if you would like to house chipmunks and hamsters in the same conjugal space that you get both parties to sign a prenuptial agreement. This way everyone is aware of the potential pitfalls ahead of time and it spares you costly legal fees in the event of a major falling out or, worse, some sort of domestic violence.

How much does a pet hamster cost?
I am buying a hamster and the totaled expenses[even with discounts and such] has summed up to be 126.08$. This is only in Florida though because the tax rate is different and i have included it in the total. Hamsters sell for $4-$11. If it is higher, you are getting ripped off, but this is only for HAMSTERS. For dwarf hamsters are gerbils or mice it ranges from $6-$40. Get a large cage for hamster and make sure the wheel inside is large for hamsters other wise it might damage the hamsters back. Wheels should be full plastic because sometimes hamsters can slip through the wire wheels and get caught. For dwarf hamsters, I don't suggest getting tubes that go straight upwards because the dwarf will not be able to climb the tube because it{hamster] is so small. For mice and gerbils, you must not place them in direct sunlight, and try not to get cages with wires because they can escape the standard wire cages easily.
