Are guinea pig and hamster different?

Answer 1

Yes. A guinea pig is less territorial than a hamster. Never put a hamster with a guinea pig as surprisingly the hamster will kill the guinea pig as they will not share unless they are breeding.

Answer 2

oh yes guinea pigs and hamsters are quite different.

first guinea pigs have hair instead of fur and hamsters have fur.

also hamsters can spin on wheels and in balls but guinea pigs can't

because it would crush their spines. also, guinea pigs grow much, much

bigger than hamsters, and guinea pigs sleep during the night, which hamsters

don't. And since guinea pigs are much bigger than hamsters, they are more

cuddly. And since I have had 3 of my own and I have for quite a while,

I know that when the pure low and long, that means you are rubbing

in their favorite spot and they like the noises around them and etc.

But when their pure is high and short, that means their scared of

a sound or are not in their best mood ever, and hamsters (i have

gone through 8), simply make an adorable little sqeaking sound

all night long and are not the most social to humans while guinea pigs

are shy at first but then can't wait to curl up on top of you.

Now Don't know if hamsters can or not, but guinea pigs whistle

when they are very, very, very, happy. So if you had a choice to

get a hamster or a guinea pig, I highly recommend

a guinea pig because if you are one to always crave a good

night's sleep, hamsters will keep you up all night, while guinea pigs

sleep the equal amount of sleep at night as humans

Answer 3

Yes, guinea pigs and hamsters are different animals. They belong to different genera within the rodent family and have distinct physical characteristics, behaviors, and care requirements. Guinea pigs are larger, have longer lifespans, and require more space compared to hamsters.
