Question
If you have a cage with a gerbil in there that has been living in there by itself for sometime now and put a hamster with it would that be ok?


Answer
Hello! How are you doing? Well there is a very easy answer to this question. The answer is no!! Please don't put the hamster and gerbil in the same cage it will be WWIII in the cage. Hamsters and gerbils should never be placed in the same cage together. They are foreign to each other and will see each other as a threat and battle it out. Seperate cages is the best way to avoid blood shed :-).
