Default Re: Hamster and Mice living together

No.
There're loads of problems with that. For a start, hamsters have different dietary needs to mice so they'd end up ill from unbalanced diet.
Secondly it looks from your avatar like Gowler is a syrian. Syrian hamsters must be solitary. If our syrian Scamp even sees another rodent she wants to kill it - we've seen her preparing to do so. Even the more social species can't happily and safely live with another completely different animal - they can't even live with other species of hamster, forget mice or other rodents.

If you try this you risk the lives of the mice and Gowler. Not a good idea.
