My mom wants me to introduce my Guinea Pigs and Russian Dwarf Hamster?

[Christine]

I am totally AGAINST the idea, considering one of my piggies is very aggressive. Both my piggies are female and my hamster is a male, for some reason my mom thinks this is ok?

What will happen if I put them together?
Basically she thinks that because my piggies are female and my hamster is male they will be able to get along because of pheromones. She's not that smart with animals, besides cats and dogs. She wants me to house my bearded dragon and snake together. Idk why she keeps insisting I put my pets in danger. She's not insisting me to do it because she cruel, she's just ignorant.

no. don't put them together. if one of them is aggressive, just..no. don't. because then it will probably fight with them, which could possibly be deadly.

DO NOT put those two animals together. I also have a male dwarf hamster and a male guinea pig. I thought it would be so cute to put them two together to introduce them to each other and right away my guinea pig went after him, aggressively biting him. I grabbed my hamster quick and put him back into his cage. Trust me, not a good idea.
Hope I could help ~!

Don't. Hamsters in general are usually better off by themselves anyways and if your guinea pig is aggressive then that is a bigger reason not to. Unless your mom wants to pay for vet bills or in the worse case a new pet I wouldn't.

Why does your mother care so much about it?

Do not put them together. If the guinea pigs decide to attack they can kill a hamster with one bite. You should never put diff rent small animals together. Why does your mom want to introduce them?

NOT a good idea. You'll have 1 less animal.
