How well do rats & hamsters get along(or gerbils)?

Im definatly gettin 2 rats but should i get 2 hamsters or 2gerbils is this a good idea too put em in different aquariums but right beside each otherHow well do rats %26amp; hamsters get along(or gerbils)?
Rats by far are the best rodent on this planet!





I have raised over 20 rats at one point and they are clean, intelligent and down right amazing!





Just stick with one rodent of a kind though.How well do rats %26amp; hamsters get along(or gerbils)?
NEVER NEVER NEVER put them in the same aquarium or cage. If you want to put them beside each other, that's fine. just make sure that the rats can't get into the other cage.





And yes, it is possible the rats can get out of the aquarium. The reason why you don't want to put rats with gerbils/hamsters, is because they can possibly eat them.
i have had rats and hamsters. hamsters prefer to be alone, as they like their own territory. rats prefer company, but rats and hamsters cannot live together, as they are not the same species and will almost definitely fight, likely to the death. no idea about gerbils. whatever pet you chose, be sure to get two of the same gender or have them fixed so they cannot breed. good luck!
NO. They do not get along at all, trust me. It's mainly about size and dominance. My advice to you would be to keep them in SEPARATE aquariums. It would be fine to keep them right beside each other, though. The sight of the each other shouldn't set their territorial spark.
NEVER put them together. They will definatley fight...





It would be okay to put them in two DIFFERENT aquariums next to eachother, yes. As long as they don't seem stressed out about being next to eachother.
It's not good to mix any rodents together. So yeah, you should keep them seperate. Unless, of course, you don't mind them killing each other
They will not get along. If they are babies perhaps but they won't get along for long so don't take your chances.
different is the best...it would not matter if they r next to eachother..good luck with them
