Can Mice and Gerbils live together?

Question

That's the question. I would like to get both pets, and ideally I would like them to live happily together. However I don't know if they will get along. I already have two pet rats and I KNOW the rats won't play nice with either mice or gerbils. So I was wondering if they would get along.

Answer 1

Absolutely not. The gerbils will eventually kill the mice. Get them a separate habitat.

Answer 2

No its different species,

and the gerbils would eventually kill the mice, or mortally wound them

Or maybe even vice versa.

Im not quite sure.

I wouldn't recommend it.

Answer 3

no they won't, plus they need completely different diets.

Answer 4

No. You should never house different species of rodents together. It just doesn't work out. If you'd like to get a pair of gerbils and house them separately from the mice, then that'd be fine. You shouldn't try to force them to live together. You may just end up with a bloody fight and serious injuries or even death in your pets.

Answer 5

Of course not. Don't house different species together.
