Hi I currently own a pair of gerbils and I am hoping to get some guinea pigs in the near future.
I was just wondering if theses animals can be kept in the same room (in separate cages)? Are they likely to pass diseases to one another? Would they disturb or stress each other?
Further in the future I'm potentially thinking of maybe getting other rodents such as degus or mice. Would these species be ok to house in the same room? Does anyone have any experience of housing multiple species of small animal in the same room?
Thank you so much for any help
