It isn't recommended to keep rabbits and guinea pigs together. Many people find they have issues with fighting. If the animals were introduced before coming into contact it could be possible for them to spend some time together in a play pen as long as they were supervised. Rabbits and guinea pigs should never be kept together full time as they are both different animals entirely and both have different requirements (for example different types of food and bedding). Hope this helps.

Do guinea pigs and dwarf rabbits get along?
It is best that guinea pigs are kept with other guinea pigs rather than rabbits as rabbits do not speak "cavy" and guinea pigs like to have others of their own species to talk to. Rabbits tend to spray, and guinea pigs are animals that like to be clean and as hygienic as possible. They also cant share food, as rabbit food contains an anti-coccidostat (ACS) which will shorten a guinea pigs lifespan by poisoning it's internal organs. Although they would probably be OK together, it will be better for the guinea pig if they are kept apart- having said that, there are cases of rabbits and guinea pigs getting on very well and living happily together. It depends on how the guinea pig and the rabbit get on. Hope this was helpful :)

Can you introduce a baby mini lionhead rabbit with your 2 year old guineapig?
No, rabbits and guinea pigs cannot be together. Even if one is a kit and the guinea pig is smaller. I want to have rabbits and guinea pigs in the same cage too, but the "Big Book of Rabbits" doesn't recommend it-- no book does. Also when rabbits grow up, they tend to get more territorial and will kick the guinea pig very hard!
Can rabbits and guinea pigs mate?
Sometimes rabbits will try and mate with guinea pigs no matter what sex they are. However the rabbit cannot impregnate the guinea pig because it is a different species.
