No because hamsters tend to eat things they shouldn't. Expecially if you forgot to feed them. Hamsters also fight a lot. they can draw blood, and maybe even rip off a human finger. Gerbils won't draw blood. But if you forget to feed them, they will get mad.
hope this helps
1. A gerbil has got a long tail and a hamster has a short stub. 2. A gerbil is a bit like a rat, but smaller, with a furry tail and a shorter snout. 3. Gerbils LOVE chewing and shredding up things, but hamsters don't as much. 4. Gerbils come from the desert. They don't pee very often because they don't drink much. 5. Gerbils are awake during the day. Hamsters are nocturnal. 6. Hamsters have more dark meat.A gerbil is much less a people critter. A gerbil also sleeps 4 hours, then is awake four hours. A hamster (notice the spelling, no p) is noternal. Plus, a gerbil chews everything, while a hamster doesn't. Therefore, a gerbil cannot be put into the plastic houses for ever, because they will find a way to eat it and escape.
A long haired hamster, also known as a syrian hamster, can grow up to 5-6 inches. Even though they have longer and messier coats types than a short haired hamster, a long haired hamster does not grow bigger in size than a short haired. Long haired hamsters reach their full size a within a year after birth.
Yes, gerbils can eat mealworms as an occasional treat. Mealworms are a good source of protein for gerbils but should not be a regular part of their diet as they are high in fat. Make sure the mealworms are fresh and properly sourced to avoid any potential risks.
No. They are mammals in the rodent family along with rats, mice, hamsters, and gerbils.
Voles make a small little chirps just like hamsters, guinea pigs, or gerbils.
some hamsters are bigger then gerbils e.g. syrian hamsters.
yes.
I think gerbils will more often because they are more curious than hamsters.
hamsters have been smaller than guinea pigs and gerbils look like squirrels but smaller
no gerbils don't have feathers, they have fur
No, they do not, that is an adaptation specific to hamsters, not gerbils.
I would say that both could bite, and both have sharp teeth, but, often, hamsters can get scared more easily than gerbils, and gerbils are social animals, so they usually like to be handled a lot, while hamsters would hide in their nest/burrow all day and want to be alone (they are solitary). I believe more likely hamsters would bite.
Depends on the amount of beer each has consumed
gerbils. especially Ginnie pigs!
chinchilas are the cooliest
No gerbils are!! Though hamsters are quite cute!
Well, black bear hamsters were bred from teddies to be nicer, but every hamster is different. I'd say they are about the same....
