Can a rabbit be in the same hutch as a guinea pig?

One of my guinea pigs died last night and the other is lonley. Could I put my sisters rabbit in with him as company, it is a grey and white rabbit and it is hardly more than a baby.Can a rabbit be in the same hutch as a guinea pig?
No, because the rabbit could get startled and kick the guinea pig with a fatal shot.

It is a perfect page for you to read. I hoped I have helped you!Can a rabbit be in the same hutch as a guinea pig?
yep you sure can


IF


you want to take the risk of your GP being eviscerated by a bunny kick


OR


raped to death by a frustrated male OR femal bunny


OR


contracting bordatella bronchiseptica, carried with no symptoms by rabbits, lethal to gp





Get it a little gp friend and make it happy, athough as you say him it may be a case of neutering him to go with some girly gps as boars can be territorial
Bad idea. The rabbit could harm or even kill the piggy. The best thing to do is put them in separate hutches but put them both in the same room.
Rabbits can grow up to be aggressive and even if your sister bunny gets along with the guinea pig now once it reaches maturity it may attack the guinea pig. Also rabbits bite and kick a lot so the guinea pig could get hurt. I think you should probably get another guinea pig instead.
First of all, a rabbits kick, even accidently, can kill a Guinea Pig. Rabbits naturally like the thump their feet and such, and although they might no mean to, they can kick the poor Guinea Pig.





Not only that, but they need different foods. Rabbit pellets don't have Vitamin C while Guinea Pigs do. They need Vitamin C.





Just, don't do it. What I suggest is COMPLETELY remodelling your guinea pigs cage to take his/her mind off the death of their companion and then get another so that they wont be lonely. I'm really sorry about your guinea pig, losing a pet is so hard ):
Your not rele supposed to i dont thnk becoz they can bully the guinea pig but you culd jus let thm meet carefully thn see if they are happy
Oh, poor piggy! Rest in Peace. What I recommend is adopting another same gender guinea pig to live with your other. Guinea pigs are very social creatures, and are naturally living in herds. http://www.cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm





Rabbits and Guinea pigs should never be allowed to mix. They are both different animals, so require different care. Guinea pigs and rabbits do not eat the same foods, and their pellets/vegetables could become mixed. Guinea pigs cannot live on wired flooring like most rabbits do. Guinea pigs could be severely hurt by the rabbit.
I wouldn't suggest it. They carry diseases that can spread to each other. Rabbits can also get very protective of there homes. If they have been together since they were very young (pretty close to birth) they could fight and kill each other. maybe put the cages next to each other.
You can but BE CAREFUL, you should only put them together when there at a young age, so watch them closely.
no you can't do that the guinea pig will kill the rabbit because the rabbit is on the guinea pig territory and you can't put a new guinea pig in with the other one because it will kill that one
yes they CAN but if they dont get along u shouldnt other =wise it's ok but they may need to get fixed even if they are boy%26amp;boy or girl and girl
if theyre the same size and both seem not to be violent, u should try it and watch for like 15 minutes and if they are nice and seem ok leave em alone for like 20 minutes and keep checking but you have to make sure they still have there own food.
I adopted a bunny and a guinea pig. they had lived together in the same cage for almost a year. never fought once. Make sure it is big enough and the rabbit and guinea pig don't mind. then go for it. but if they both or just one of them minds then take them out because they can get stressed and may fight or die. I hope this helps!
