No not likely. they are gentle creatures with almost no temper BUT IT DEPENDS!! different animals have different attitude's Never house them in the same cage. If you do choose to take the risk of having a hamster and guinea pig hold them and introduce them slowly. :) hoped this helped

Can guinea pigs and hamsters bond with each other?

from the research ive done, I dont think its the smartest idea to have a Guinea Pig and a Hamster together. Some of my reasons are: 1) A Guinea Pig's cage has long bars, unlike a hamster's cage. A hamster would easily squeeze out the Guinea Pig cage's bars (i know from experience). And a hamster cage isnt quite suitable for a Guinea Pig, mostly because a Guinea Pig gets much bigger then a hamster does. 2) They have a very different diet. Guinea pigs eat plants, when Hamsters eat plant AND meat. the guinea pig would get sick if he/she accidentally ate the meat. 3) Hamsters are nocturnal, Guinea Pigs are not. the hamster would get very annoyed with the Guinea Pig, who would probably want to be up in the day time, squeaking away as the Hamster trys to sleep. and this could lead to a fight. I hope this answered your question!

Should you put your Guinea Pig in a Guinea Pig ball?

Yes, guinea pigs have delicate spines, which aren't as flexible as hamster spines. If you put a guinea pig in a hamster ball then you can seriously harm their back. Even the ones that say suitable for guinea pigs shouldn't be used.
