some hamsters are bigger then gerbils e.g. syrian hamsters.
A long haired hamster, also known as a syrian hamster, can grow up to 5-6 inches. Even though they have longer and messier coats types than a short haired hamster, a long haired hamster does not grow bigger in size than a short haired. Long haired hamsters reach their full size a within a year after birth.
I would say hamsters but personally I have an gerbil, and my hamster died about 4 years ago. I would say an hamster. But it depends about the gerbil/hamster so there is no fact its an opinion.
No, because the average length of a guinea pig is 8-11 inches and width of 3-5 inches, and a gerbil is way smaller, with a length of 3-4 inches and a width of 2-3 inches. And guinea pigs are more timid and affectionate. But if you like scaly tails and bites, you could probably own a gerbil.
it depends on the type of gerbil
No, never do this. Hamsters are solitary, and it may attack the gerbil.
Gerbils are actually the cross between a mouse and a rat.
hamsters

dogs, cats, hamsters, and gerbil,
no
A creature that resembles a mouse but is larger could be a rat or a gerbil. Both have similar body shapes and features, but they are noticeably bigger than a typical mouse. Additionally, some species of voles or larger rodents, like hamsters, can also fit this description.
1. A gerbil has got a long tail and a hamster has a short stub. 2. A gerbil is a bit like a rat, but smaller, with a furry tail and a shorter snout. 3. Gerbils LOVE chewing and shredding up things, but hamsters don't as much. 4. Gerbils come from the desert. They don't pee very often because they don't drink much. 5. Gerbils are awake during the day. Hamsters are nocturnal. 6. Hamsters have more dark meat.A gerbil is much less a people critter. A gerbil also sleeps 4 hours, then is awake four hours. A hamster (notice the spelling, no p) is noternal. Plus, a gerbil chews everything, while a hamster doesn't. Therefore, a gerbil cannot be put into the plastic houses for ever, because they will find a way to eat it and escape.
