No, I doubt it. I do have a friend who has a rabbit and guinea pig in the same hutch but guinea pigs are more friendly to there own species; especially if they're from the same litter.

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 :)

What does it mean when a rabbit tries to mate with a guinea pig?
Rabbits can not mate with guinea pigs. If the rabbit tries to mate with a guinea pig, it means that:They shouldn't live together. Rabbits and guinea pigs shouldn't share a cage because rabbits get easily scared and can accidentally hurt the piggies.Your rabbit could be trying to show dominance but again, give each one its own cage. A rabbit trying to be dominant could hurt the guinea pig.You should separate them when the rabbit mounts the guinea pig. Otherwise, if they get along, they can be together when you're there to supervise, but never when they're alone.

Do flemish giants get along with mini lops because i am getting two rabbits for my birthday i want a flemish giant and a mini lop but do they get along?
I would introduce them at a young age, preferably under 6 months. This will increase the chances of them getting along significantly.However i would NOT recommend this, as large rabbits do kick and such, even with rabbits they are playing with, just like a rabbit can smother/kick a guinea pig to death, two rabbits of drastically different sizes can be dangerous for the smaller.
Would a 4 months old male guinea pig that you have owned for a month fight with another male guinea pig if you bought one?
Well actually yes, they might fight. Males guinea pig's in general tend to fight with another therefor, it is a better idea to have two females or a male and a female together. But some males can get along, but usually males tend to fight.
Can you mix a guinea pig with a rabbit?
Nope, do not put guinea pigs with rabbits because if you do, it might seem nice because they are playing together, but your guinea pig is in grave danger! You see, rabbits and guinea pigs CAN get along, but a slight playful kick of a rabbit will send your guinea pig flying acrosss the room! It wouldn't be on purpose, because the rabbit would be playing but that happends a lot to people's guinea pigs! So, for the safety and life of your guinea pig, do not let a guinea pig and a rabbit play with each other. Umm you know the term 'mix' that you used, are you talking about breeding a rabbit with a guinea pig?...
Should you get a guinea pig for your rabbit as her friend got eaten by a cat and you want a friend for her the rabbit is 3 and a female?
They can get along fine. Best bet would be to get another female rabbit though. Or you could just get her some toys and treats as rabbits do fine by themselves.
