>>278783 Actually, they can learn to get along. I had two ferrets and two guinea pigs and they were able to coexist pretty well. I let them out of the cages at the same time and allowed them to play together (granted under supervision.)
OP, I suggest you create/buy a more secure cage for the pigs if you're worried. That will probably be a good idea. Also, if you want the ferrets and guinea pigs to get along, I suggest you get a young or baby ferret instead of an adult. This will not only decrease the size difference, but it will allow the pigs and ferret to be "raised" together, thus becoming more tolerant. It is still not a good idea to leave them together unattended for very long, though.
Also, things like mice, hamsters, and gerbils? Won't be able to coexist with ferrets; the ferrets' hunting instinct is too strong there. They won't be able to see something that small moving around and think "friend." With something as small as a mouse, the only thing they'll be thinking is "prey."
