Question
can i put a teddy bear hamster and a gerbil together

Answer
Hi Brenda,

No. It would not be good to put any hamster with any other animal as hamsters are very territorial. They will most likely fight and/or kill each other. You can however buy two separate cages and occasionally let them play together outside of the cages, as long as they don't fight. Some small animals get acquainted with each other, others want to kill them. I hope everything works out for you. GOOD LUCK!

Regards,
Sam
