No the rabbit could accidently kick or injure the guinea pig. Also they have totally different diets.

Is it bad to put two different types of breeds of guinea pigs in the same cage?
It is not bad to put 2 different breeds of piggies together. The most important thing is to make sure they get along outside the cage first. I have often seen different breeds housed together. Do not put a male and a female together unless you want to be looking for homes for many babies:-)
Are guinea pigs and hamsters compatible?
I wouldn't try to house them together as the guinea pig is going to get a lot larger then the hamster. It can be done hamsters can be put with guinea pigs. I had a hamster and a guinea pig together at one time because they were both alone. As long as you watch them a while when you first do it to make sure they don't fight then it should work out fine. I had a golden hamster i wouldn't try it with a dwarf hamster or anything that small. But as long as they don't fight and the guinea pig don't hog all the food then it should be ok. But if you have more then 1 hamster and more than 1 guinea pig i would not try it. THIS ANSWER IS CRAZY HAMSTERS AND GUINEA PIGS SHOULD NEVER BE HOUSED TOGHETHER. JUST BECAUSE IT WORKED ONCE DOES NOT AND I REPEAT DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL WORK OUT IN MOST CASES!!!!!!! This answer is horrible. No, they can NEVER be housed together. A guinea pig can only be housed with another guinea pig! do NOT put a guinea pig and hamster together, the guinea pig is going to get much bigger than the hamster. plus they need different foods. (MRS.TYLER22) Well first off i have 4 guinea pigs and 2 hamsters and for play time when i do not feel like letting them run around the room i put the inside of this really large plastic tote that i use to use to put my clothes in (very spacious) all of them and they just play in there together no fighting just playin but i do not allow them to sleep with the guinea pigs remind you that this is just for play time.Every animal is different you might just have to try your animals together on a trial basis because noone can say that they cant play or that they can every animal again is DIFFERENT!!!!

Do male rabbits fight over a doe?
Yes, they can and will fight if the female feels threatened. They will always fight if the doe is bred or does not want to be bred. Does can and will castrate a buck and have been known to kill bucks upon occasion. That is why you never put rabbits together to breed and walk away.
Can a Female Rabbit and a Male Guinnea pig live in the same cage?
No, guinea pigs and rabbits should never be housed together. A rabbit has very strong hind legs and can seriously injure a guinea pig, even if it's just being playful. They don't have the same diet requirements. Rabbits are often carriers of bacteria (even if they are healthy themselves) that can kill guinea pigs.
I have a rabbit buck and a female guinea pig they where fine the first day I got them but the rabbit occasionally tries to nip the guinea pig its not really that aggressive just mean Why?
Because they are different animals, they shouldn't live together. Many places say they shouldn't even be allowed to play together, because rabbits are bigger than guineas, and they could kick them by accident, no matter how gentle they are. Also, rabbits can carry a disease called Bordatella which can be fatal to guinea pigs. No matter how gentle your rabbit is, they shouldn't really be housed together.
You have herd that guinea pigs are best friends for a rabbit is this true?
No it is not good to keep them together. I have 25 rabbit does and 1 guinea pig sow living together, and they are all just fine. The guinea pig has certain rabbits that she is very close to, and others that she tends to avoid. If the two animals are housed in a smaller cage, then it is usually "dangerous" for the pig.
How bo a rabbit kill a ginepig?
A rabbit can kill a guinea pig just by stretching out its back legs or taking a hop!!! The rabbits legs/ feet are so powerful that they can kill a guinea pig outright!!! Hence why BUNNYS & GUINEAS SHUD NEVER be housed together!

Yes, the females will know when they are pregnant. Other females will know too if they are housed together. The males will know because the pregnant female will have nothing to do with the males if she is pregnant.
Is your girl guinea pig dislike the boy guinea pig if she kicks him when he chases her?
Yes, this is her way of showing the male that she does not like him. The male pig is chasing her because he wants to mate with her. If she kicks, than that usually indicates that she is not in heat; is not ready to mate. Male and female guinea pigs should not be housed together unless, you are trying to get them to mate and the female is in heat.
Why cant male and female guinea pigs not be housed together?
They could be put into a cage together. However, if there is a female guinea pig in the cage with them, that's not a good idea. As they get older they tend to get more aggressive.

Both breeds are known as friendly and social, so I assume they would be able to live together, as long as both are nurtured and get proper care.
How long is it until you can put de sexed male rabbits in with the female rabbitts?
If the rabbits have lived together before he was desexed, then as soon as his stitches have healed they can be housed together again. If you are introducing the two bunnies for the first time, then wait until his stitches have healed before letting them meet each other in a neutral territory like a bathroom. If they fight, separate them. You might need to introduce them multiple times before they stop fighting and then you can try housing them together.
