There are few people who will say yes and many who will say no.
I personally own both and let them even house together, I allow my rats to climb into my piggies cage and they all sleep together every night. It honestly depends on the animals personalities and reaction to another species. They can be aggressive and the aggression can go too far. My pets are all quiet, curious, friendly, and sweet. No aggression is ever showed so that is why they're able to be together.

∙ 14y agoMaybe they would get along if they live together from babies but its not something i would recommend doing,rats are so different to guinea pigs and have the ability to digest meat,i once had three rats and one morning i only had two the other was buried in sawdust it had its throat ripped out,i was so horrified i have never kept rats again,i think due to their nature the rat is probably more aggressive,a guinea pig has very little means of protecting itself and is less agile than a rat,wild rats also eat newborn baby guinea pigs if they get into their cage as they can smell blood,im not really down on rats its just nature.i hope this helps
