Question
i hav a Boy dwarf hamster (ron) and 2 girl gerbils (mario and yoshi) and i was wondering if they can mate and hav babies

Answer
Hello Angie,
I have just answered a question on gerbils and hamsters mating. No, they cannot physically breed. They are too different genetically to interbreed and I wouldn't want to even put them together as this can cause fighting and you may lose your dear pets. You don't have to worry about any babies though.
