Best Answer

Rabbits of both sexes mount each other as a show of dominance. Mounting isn't always sexual. Dominance can turn into aggression, especially if one or both males aren't neutered, so you might want to separate the rabbits as a precaution. Definitely separate them if they're fighting: see the related question below for details and links.

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.
