Question
is it possible to breed a gerbil with a hamster?If so do i just put them in the same cage together?

Answer
Hi Anthony,

No, it's not possible at all.  They're 2 different species.  (It would be like a cat and dog mating - not possible.)  And if you put them in a cage together, they would fight violently.  They shouldn't have any contact at all.

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