Can a guinea pig and chinchilla share the cage?

Answer 1

Absolutely not. If you are talking about Syrian hamsters and mongolian gerbils then they are both incredibly territorial and would likely kill each other. Syrian hamsters are solitary and cannot even be kept with other Syrians.

Mongolian gerbils do well in pairs or groups of their own kind, but you cannot even introduce a lone adult to a lone adult without a splitcage as they are highly territorial and would fight an intruder to the death.

Hamsters and gerbils also need different types of cages. It is vital that a gerbil has a tank as part of its cage since they need plenty of room and substrate to dig whereas a hamster cannot be kept in a tank due to the ventilation and health problems it would cause.

Cohabiting different types of rodent should only rarely be attempted and only be an experienced rodent keeper. There are only a very few examples where it can work, and the vast majority of cases you would just end up with dead pets.

Answer 2

Of course not. Even if the rabbit didn't kill the hamster then the hamster could escape from a rabbit cage, and a rabbit wouldn't fit in a hamster cage.

Rabbits should be kept in same-sex pairs whereas Syrian hamsters must be kept alone.

Answer 3

No, they will fight, and possibly breed.

Syrian hamsters are solitary, and must be kept apart.

Dwarf hamsters sometimes tolerate company, but it is unwise to put a breeding pair together if you are not well prepared.

Answer 4

No, two hamsters that are six months or older together will most likely fight, it doesn't matter about the breed. They will fight resulting in serious injury or death!

Answer 5

No- they will fight with each other and they need different types of cages.

Answer 6

No they will only fight and possibly injure each other; separate enclosures are a must.

Answer 7

no unless they are a female and male if there males they might fight D =

Answer 8

Its all depending on their behavior with one another. If the hamsters don't get along the first time, then if they are put together it, will be best to separate them.
