Guinea pigs are more popular as you can purchase them from local pet shops. Rabbits may not be kept as pets at all in the state of Queensland, and are illegal to have as a pet in Australia without a special licence which can cost a few hundred dollars to obtain on top of the costs of trying to get the per rabbit in the first place.
