The show that you're thinking of is called "Once Upon a Hamster"

Well, in the 1970's, and I believe earlier there was Tales Of The Riverbank. There have been a few incarnations of the show. I've seen a b&w version where Guinea Pig is often referred to as "Guinea" and he stutters frequently. Roderick Rat is around as well as a few other characters who rather than being all different animals are often guinea pigs and rats. Only one hamster, Hammy, though.

There was: Further Tales of The Riverbank in 1992 that was 5 min episodes for the BBC. GP has a Scottish voice, Roderick is the no-nonsense style British voice but still kind, and Hammy is the super nice one. As the two creators were Paul Sutherland (Canadian) and Dave Ellison (UK) this would be the Dave Ellison version.

Later on in the 1990's was the show "Once Upon A Hamster" in Canada. Paul Sutherland was labeled Story Man, introducing each episode with a prologue, doing most of the voice overs, including GP sounding like W. C. Fields. Peggy Mahone did voices for female characters including Martha Mouse. Martha Mouse replaced Roderick Rat from earlier series but still, the animal used IS a RAT. (And cute as HECK!) Another voice, Cliff Braggins (?) does the voice of Wise Old Frog. Minus commercials these episodes were approximately 22 minutes instead of 5.

Further in the list of the frightful is the DVD film Tales Of The Riverbank from the UK which even includes Stephen Fry's voice. These are all puppets with outrageously extreme features and minus colouring one can only deduce that they may all be gerbils.
