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.

Syrian hamsters have a larger body, but a gerbil may be longer due to its tail.

Can guinea pigs get along with gerbals?

ALthough they are from separate subspecies they can get along as they're both rodents. The diffreneces are length and weight; guinea pigs can grow between 9-14 inches in length and 600g-1.5kg. Gerbils on the other hand can grow between 4-6 inches and 70-140 grams. Conclusion: Guinea pigs and Gerbals can get along but not be housed together due to size, weight and respiratory diseases.
