Can guinea pigs and bunnys live together?

Answer 1

While there are some breeders who suggest that rabbits and guinea pigs should not be kept together, our experience has been very positive (with one male rabbit and a male and female guinea pig kept together in the same hutch). The reasons sometimes cited for not keeping them together include (a) the guinea pig being hurt (perhaps accidentally) by a wayward kick from the rabbit and/or (b) that guinea pigs kept in isolation can suffer from 'behavioural disorders'. Both animals are social in the wild but countless examples of them being kept either alone or with a member of the other species suggest that success or failure in doing this has more to do with the temperament of the individual animals concerned. Clearly, if being kept together results in repeated fighting, then remove the animals to separate cages. Otherwise, injury will likely result (probably worse for the guinea pig). Also, make sure to provide the guinea pigs with extra vitamin c in the form of foods high in this or supplements in their water. Like I say, our experience has been very positive so far.

Answer 2

Guinea pigs and bunnies usually get along when they are young but only sometimes when they are older.

My own baby guinea pig got along very well with my friend's baby bunny. I THINK they can get along when older.

Answer 3

No. rabbits havepowerful hind legs and guinea pigs can get kicked if a rabbit is frightened a doe rabbit in season can be aggressive and bite also rabbits do not require vitamin c guinea pigs witch results in small but curial changes in diet

Answer 4

No, for the rabbit may kick the guinea pig and hurt it badly. I have a rabbit and guinea pig and they hate each other. So I keep them away from each other.

Answer 5

Guinea Pigs do get along with Rabbits when their young. When they get older they pretty much find new friends and grow out of their relationships.
