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.

∙ 14y agoNo, different types of rodents are generally either territorial or predatory when it comes to sharing a living space. A guinea pig is large enough to kill a mouse even if it's just trying to give it a warning bite. Other rodents, such as rats, will kill and eat mice for food, and just the smell of other animals is usually enough to make mice nervous and stressed out.
Female mice and female guinea pigs can. I have them living together right now, and they're fine. HOWEVER, I don't suggest putting male guinea pigs in, they can get nasty

∙ 12y agoNo, they can't. Its a very bad idea as the guineapig could hurt the hamster or fight it.

Why is my hamster going in circles It share its cage with 1 other hamster and its cage is 7 by 12. Why Everything seems normal on my hamster. HELP?
Hamsters aren't supposed to share cages if there syrians(dwarf hamsters can share a cage very happily). Your hamsters could kill eachother; hamster's nature is to roam alone. However, if you have one male hamster, and one female hamster, this may not apply, as the female can, well, you know, with the male and before you know it.... pop goes the BABIES. Be prepared.
Should you put different sex hamsters in a cage?
only ever keep dwarf hamsters in the same cage, it doesn't matter what sex the dwarfs are, but once other breeds of hamsters reach maturity(such as the syrian) they will viscously kill any hamster that they share a cage with!
