Default Re: new hamster ? in same room

10 gallons really is very small - don’t think it would comfortably house any rodent and this is for two of them. Gerbils are very active and do need space. Yes there is a risk of declanning and fighting but you run that risk with most small animals that live in a pair or group anyway. It’s important to find a balance between what is safe and what can provide them with a good & enriching life, plenty of gerbils do well in cages larger than 40 gallons.
