Cats and dogs, rabbits and hamsters, what can you keep together in a household?
Those two are like cat and dog – is the common say of people who don't get on. In reality, those two pets do live together peacefully in a household, provided you have got both of them very young and they grow up together. Gold hamsters are a different story – this animal is a loner, and therefore will not mix well with rabbits, who in turn are happy with company. Also guinea-pigs don't go with rabbits. Guinea-pigs are soft and gentle animals, and they suffer from the rather rough mannered rabbits. The rodents can only be kept together if there is enough draw-back space in the house. If you want to try to put 2 kinds in one cage, you should clean it carefully first, to remove the small-marks of one dominant kind, who occupied the cage first. If you want to put 1 strange rodent into a group – don't buy it straight off, rather take it home "on trial" only – on condition that it will be accepted by the group.
