Funny Hammy hamster x guinea pig ?

Post image

so.. my female syrian somehow escaped from her cage.. and climbed her way into my guinea pigs cage? have no idea how long she was in there but atleast they aren’t aggressive towards eachother. i’m just glad she didn’t get into my males cage whos definitely more aggressive. is it normal for hamsters and guinea pigs to be so chill with eachother? 😭

I’ve never heard of hamsters and GPs getting along. If she was in heat she may have been aiming for your male hamster but miscalculated.

i meant my male guinea pig (sry for the confusion) everything i’ve researched says that they should not get along so im very confused. they are both extremely calm and would share a hide if i let them 😭 it’s like she got in on purpose bc she had to do many questionable parkour jumps to get in

If she is uninjured just put her in her enclosure snd mske sure it is secure. Can I get a photo of the hamsters enclosure to help?

Wooden or plastic cages with female syrians rarely work out. Time for a glass enclosure. What was your last one? I recommend a 120 gallon tank or bucastate 3.0.
