Is it bad to put two different types of breeds of guinea pigs in the same cage?

It is not bad to put 2 different breeds of piggies together. The most important thing is to make sure they get along outside the cage first. I have often seen different breeds housed together. Do not put a male and a female together unless you want to be looking for homes for many babies:-)


Do hamsters and rabbits get along if they have their own cages?

Yes, hamsters and rabbits generally should not be housed together even if they have separate cages. They have different social structures, dietary needs, and activity levels, which may lead to stress or potential harm if they are housed in close proximity. It is best to house them separately to ensure their individual health and well-being.


Do gerbils and guinea pigs get along?

Gerbils and guinea pigs have different social behaviors and communication methods, which can make it challenging for them to get along. Gerbils are more active and territorial, while guinea pigs are social and laid-back. It is not recommended to house them together as they might not understand each other's behaviors, leading to stress and potential conflict. It's best to provide separate living spaces for gerbils and guinea pigs.

Will two male Guinea pigs fight if housed in same cage?

Yes! They will fight because they will protect their territory; i even put my 2 males in a playpen without any other male scent (just fresh air) and they fought now 1 of them has a badly swollen eye and a scab and the other has no fur on one side of him and boogers encrusted on his nose, I tried to take them off very carefully and it hurts him so they grew into his skin!!! So i have to keep them apart from 1 another.

Can a Female Rabbit and a Male Guinnea pig live in the same cage?

No, guinea pigs and rabbits should never be housed together. A rabbit has very strong hind legs and can seriously injure a guinea pig, even if it's just being playful. They don't have the same diet requirements. Rabbits are often carriers of bacteria (even if they are healthy themselves) that can kill guinea pigs.


I have a rabbit buck and a female guinea pig they where fine the first day I got them but the rabbit occasionally tries to nip the guinea pig its not really that aggressive just mean Why?

Because they are different animals, they shouldn't live together. Many places say they shouldn't even be allowed to play together, because rabbits are bigger than guineas, and they could kick them by accident, no matter how gentle they are. Also, rabbits can carry a disease called Bordatella which can be fatal to guinea pigs. No matter how gentle your rabbit is, they shouldn't really be housed together.


You have herd that guinea pigs are best friends for a rabbit is this true?

No it is not good to keep them together. I have 25 rabbit does and 1 guinea pig sow living together, and they are all just fine. The guinea pig has certain rabbits that she is very close to, and others that she tends to avoid. If the two animals are housed in a smaller cage, then it is usually "dangerous" for the pig.

A rabbit can kill a guinea pig just by stretching out its back legs or taking a hop!!! The rabbits legs/ feet are so powerful that they can kill a guinea pig outright!!! Hence why BUNNYS & GUINEAS SHUD NEVER be housed together!


Do guinea pigs know when there pregnant?

Yes, the females will know when they are pregnant. Other females will know too if they are housed together. The males will know because the pregnant female will have nothing to do with the males if she is pregnant.


Is your girl guinea pig dislike the boy guinea pig if she kicks him when he chases her?

Yes, this is her way of showing the male that she does not like him. The male pig is chasing her because he wants to mate with her. If she kicks, than that usually indicates that she is not in heat; is not ready to mate. Male and female guinea pigs should not be housed together unless, you are trying to get them to mate and the female is in heat.


Why cant male and female guinea pigs not be housed together?

They could be put into a cage together. However, if there is a female guinea pig in the cage with them, that's not a good idea. As they get older they tend to get more aggressive.

Can Peruvian guinea pigs and American guinea pigs be together?

Both breeds are known as friendly and social, so I assume they would be able to live together, as long as both are nurtured and get proper care.


How long is it until you can put de sexed male rabbits in with the female rabbitts?

If the rabbits have lived together before he was desexed, then as soon as his stitches have healed they can be housed together again. If you are introducing the two bunnies for the first time, then wait until his stitches have healed before letting them meet each other in a neutral territory like a bathroom. If they fight, separate them. You might need to introduce them multiple times before they stop fighting and then you can try housing them together.


Should i keep my male and female guineapigs together?

It is not advised to keep them housed together. It is okay to put them together for a day or two for breeding, but if kept together they may end up fighting. The female will protect her babies after they are born and a male can also harm the babies.
