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.

∙ 13y agoyes you can use the same cage, hamsters and guinea pigs are roughly the same animals and can use a hamster cage. Rabbits and guinea pigs can use the same cage also if it is pig enough. Depending on the size of your guinea pig, also guinea pigs love to hide so some sort of hiding object is great.

Rats require more excersize than a hamster cage will allow for. They like to run and investigate and play so give them room to do so. Many hamster cages are barely big enough for hamsters let alone a rat. Look for cages that are open (not aquariums) for air circulation and that have tight enough metal bands so that a rat can not get its head caught in the wall of the cage.
