Strictly this is possible, but risky. The buck will be more mature sexually, and have his established territory. If you do this, you must supervise at all times , and expect to see the male attempting to dominate the female by chasing or humping her. The female may become stressed, at which point you must remove her. The male could also attack her, or crush her if he is a lot larger. If you sense danger cease the introductions immediately. Rabbits can be introduced to each other slowly, and through the bars or two cages so they can get used to the other's scent. Try placing a few of the doe's toys into the buck's cage so he can get used to the invasion slowly. Alternatively, and preferably, introduce the rabbits in the doe's cage so her scent is already established.

Can guinea pigs and bunnys live together?

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.

Can new guinea pigs live with an older Rabbit that lives alone?

People give different answers for this. I was told by my local pet shop that its best not to put a guinea pig with a rabbit becasue rabbits tend to be aggressive towards guinea pigs. Some rabbits try to have sexual intercorse with the guinea pig, and end up killing it. However, please don't take my advice as the right one. Becasue i do know that rabbits can be fine with guinea pigs. Soem rabbits and guinea pigs get on just fine!!! And the rabbit will potty-train the guinea pig to go to the toilet in one corner. So it all depends if the rabbit is fine with living with the guinea pig, but there is no way of tellign until you actually put the together. So i have never done it, just in case. I think it would be arlgith to put them together from birth, so there used to it, but if you force them together , halfway though their life you don't really know whats going to happen. so it don't thinks its safe,
