I think you're confusing the average human with the average hamster. Hamsters are hindgut fermenters and must eat their own feces in order to digest their food a second time. Fox, Sue. 2006.

I used to keep a ferret and I know it would kill anything rodent-like if it found it because of some drive to not have food competition but I don't know about rats or hamsters. | ||

Dirty, dirty lies. Rats are awesome. Anyway, rats do not typically get along with other pets smaller than them. If they're closely supervised, you can prevent anything bad from happening, but if you can't keep an eye on them 100% of the time I wouldn't recommend it. | ||

I don't know much about rats, but I'm guessing this isn't too good of an idea. Depends on the breed of hamster, but generally I'd advise against it. | ||
