Question
Can I house baby Gerbils and Dwarf Hamsters together?

Answer
Hi Stacy,

No, unfortunately, since they are 2 very different species, they can't live together peacefully.  The Dwarves would kill the baby gerbils.  They don't interact in the wild, so to place them together in captivity would mean a lot of fighting.

Have a great day!

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)
