you should get a guinea pig because they are cute and plus hampsters bite and guinea pigs dont ever bit they only nibble.
when i was 10 i looked after my cousins hampster and i was changing the water bottle when it ran up to me and bit me really hard my finger was all bleeding and it really stung the next few days. btw im not lying.
i now have a guinea pig and it has never bit me it has only nibbled me twice in the year and a half it has been alive.
i hope you pick the right choice (guinea pig )
thanks for the question and i hoped i helped you.
What else can I help you with?
Can you feed your hamster guinea pig food?
No,NEVER,EVER give a guinea pig hamster food.Hamster food contains nuts,which are fine for the hamster but will almost certainly choke your guinea pig.Also hamster food contains corn which is way too fattening for guinea pigs. And lastly a guinea pig needs a lot of vitamin C which guinea pig food has plenty of while hamster food doesn't have nearly enough,plus hamster food has too much protein for guinea pigs.
What is cuter a bunny or a hamster?
My opinion is hamsters I think guinea pigs are WAY better because hamsters bite too much and guinea are dont plus they are cuter!!!
Are guinea pigs and hamsters compatible?
I wouldn't try to house them together as the guinea pig is going to get a lot larger then the hamster. It can be done hamsters can be put with guinea pigs. I had a hamster and a guinea pig together at one time because they were both alone. As long as you watch them a while when you first do it to make sure they don't fight then it should work out fine. I had a golden hamster i wouldn't try it with a dwarf hamster or anything that small. But as long as they don't fight and the guinea pig don't hog all the food then it should be ok. But if you have more then 1 hamster and more than 1 guinea pig i would not try it. THIS ANSWER IS CRAZY HAMSTERS AND GUINEA PIGS SHOULD NEVER BE HOUSED TOGHETHER. JUST BECAUSE IT WORKED ONCE DOES NOT AND I REPEAT DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL WORK OUT IN MOST CASES!!!!!!! This answer is horrible. No, they can NEVER be housed together. A guinea pig can only be housed with another guinea pig! do NOT put a guinea pig and hamster together, the guinea pig is going to get much bigger than the hamster. plus they need different foods. (MRS.TYLER22) Well first off i have 4 guinea pigs and 2 hamsters and for play time when i do not feel like letting them run around the room i put the inside of this really large plastic tote that i use to use to put my clothes in (very spacious) all of them and they just play in there together no fighting just playin but i do not allow them to sleep with the guinea pigs remind you that this is just for play time.Every animal is different you might just have to try your animals together on a trial basis because noone can say that they cant play or that they can every animal again is DIFFERENT!!!!

No. They are intended for cats and dogs and are miles too big. Plus. it's unlikely that they'll need them.
What are the benefits of a hamster ball?
The hamster gets more exercise because he is pushing a ball. Plus it is easier to catch than the hamster itself.
What does it mean if your guinea pig is 1 and ways 1200 plus grams and she is a female?
She is VERY fat. Female guinea pigs should weigh between 700 and 900 grams, and male guinea pigs should weigh between 900 and 1200 grams. Give your guinea pig more hay to eat, and less processed pellets/muesli. Let her run around for at least an hour everyday.

Can hamsters share a cage?
After hearing all this rubbish by UNEDUCATED zoologists it's time for me to answer the question. So 'can a guinea pig and hamster share the same cage', my answer is yes my friend. Under Circumstances. I did an observation for a month housing a male guinea pig and female hamster, everything worked out well, they slept together , played together etc. But you need to be aware : Warnings : - Only house the opposite sexes, e.g. female hamster and male guinea pig or female guinea pig and male hamster. - Make sure it's a large enough cage for space. - Be careful with food, mix there foods together in a feeding bowl. Most definitely not they cannot share a space, guinea pigs can kill hamsters and will because hamsters are so small they will get hurt my guinea pigs. Plus they cant eat the same food so they cannot share feeding bowls. I would have to agree with the above answer, a Hamster is a different species from a Guinea pig, and it is never advisable to cage them together, the size difference between the species would also make them inappropriate cage mates and they have a different diet, housing opposite sexes makes no difference to anything and a male guinea pig would most likely squash a Hamster to death trying to mate it.
