Technically yes, there have been cases where they have bred and almost every time the results are negative. Guinea pigs and rabbits should not breed as this can cause harm to the guinea pig and even the rabbit. Breeding these animals can also in some places result in a fine if caught.

Well in all the guinea pig books it tells you not to put a rabbit with a guinea pig together, but my mum said that she had a guinea pig that out lived all the rabbits he was put in with.

But i would recommend you put it with another guinea pig if it needs company.

Even though they are separate rodent species; Murodiea and Cavia , their is a chance of an offspring if it is tested quotidian, maybe 1 'Guinea Rat in every 70 experiments'.
