For A guinea Pig, it is recommended you provide the largest cage possible...at a minimum, a cage should be large enough for your guinea to stand up on his/her hind legs and not touch the top, room for litter box, nesting box, food, toys, water bottle and a little extra to walk around - this is the minimum, and you should provide your piggy with out of cage play time and snuggle time! During the summer, during the day we put the piggys out in our shaded sunroom (windows open for cool air) in an empty 8 foot swimming pool, this provides a large play area, I add the water bottle, food,hay, toys and a nesting box for naps...they love this, and I sit in there with them to bond.

∙ 8y agoNOOOOO!!!! that is torture they need at least at a minimun 7.5 feet of space to run around in. Get a C&C cage.
^^^Absolutely right! HAMSTER CAGES ARE FAR TOO SMALL The best thing for your guinea pig/s is a c&c cage suitable for 1 rabbit if you have 2 indoor guinea pigs, or a single floor medium rabbit hutch if you are going to keep 2 outside. These sizes are suitable if they are going to spend a lot of time in there cage because of the space they have. In my opinion i think that the cc cages for guinea pigs and rabbits are far too small if they are going to spend a lot of time in there, but if you are going to let them run around for about 10-12 hrs a day then a smaller version should be fine. JUST DON'T KEEP THEM IN A HAMSTER/GERBIL/MOUSE CAGE

∙ 16y agoI wouldn't advise it at all. The rat is a rather aggressive creature and would probably end up chewing on the hamster. It has the teeth to be dangerous.

∙ 12y agoyes but watch them carefully and if you plan on feeding them put them in separate cages

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, a cage is a cage. As long as there's no mouse in the cage already.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agowell not really but it depends how the cage looks like then it might work but most of the time it cant be used for hamsters but if you got a fish tank the nthat will work
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoSure it can. Make sure there are no places where the pet can get out and it will work just fine.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoI don't have birds, but I would guess you could as long as they can't get out of it.

∙ 10y agoYes, there are special screen lids and clips made just for this purpose. You can get them at most pet stores.

Can you cover the hamsters cage to keep it warm?
Hi, I wouldn't recommend it. Hamsters do not like warm habitats. It is especially bad if the cage is put near a window that gets warm, a furnace, or where there's a warm draft. Plus, the cage needs to be well lit. Hope that helps a little!
How do you get your hamster to follow you?
you get a peice of food and put it on the ground your hamster will sniff it and go right to you11works like a charm!! If your hamster is in a room and the door was closed when it got loose, just stay perfectly still. Try to listen for scratching sounds. If not, scratch any dresser or deks type thing and listen. If you hear it, look EVERYWHERE you hear it. In droors, behind droors. Basically behind, in, or under anything you can think of that's nearby By hamsterluver224: Yes, I also think the old bucket trick works too. You put up a plank or something and a bucket baited with yummy food. Your hamster will walk up the ramp and fall into the bucket. Start looking in common hamster hiding places, like under droors, under beds, in bookcases, etc. My hamsters usually hide there. If you cannot find it there, look in unusual places like in blankets, in shoes, and in wrapping paper tubes. Or, you can leave its cage door poen with a trail of sunflower seeds leading to the cage and it will fall asleep in its cage by the next morning. Or, if you have more than one hammy, put a new nesting box in the cage and put the old one outside its cage with bedding. Or, you can buy harmless trap hotels for mice and bait it with treats. Good Luck! oh whats above `might work but make shure you put your hamster cage on the ground AND PUT WATER IN IT!
