Do you keep your guinea pig with a rabbit?

**guineagurl** · #3 02-08-05, 09:28 pm

Sure do.......

Hes only a small rabbit.. infact the piggie is almost bigger than him. They get along great and i have another piggie and another rabbit too!
I have a really big hutch outside that sometimes the rabbits go into but the weather has been awful so theyre all together at the moment.

Rabbits carry various bacterias that can potentially kill a guinea pig. For more info go to www.cavycages.com/rabbits.htm

So can humans.
They make very good companions.

**guineagurl** · #6 02-08-05, 09:57 pm

And just for the record, so can other Guinea pigs too!

They have all bonded and it would be cruel to seperate them "just incase".

**o0Ms Jenny0o** · #7 02-08-05, 09:59 pm

If you have another guinea pig and another rabbit, why don't you put the rabbits together and the guinea pigs together? And for goodness sakes get your animals out of "awful" weather and bring them inside.

**guineagurl** · #8 02-08-05, 10:07 pm

I think thats what i said i did. (Got them out of the rain)

I do have 2 of each but they ALL wanna be together,,,they told me so...*winkwink*
They are in my garage (leads off my kitchen) so i can allways talk to them.

The raBBITS Have a huge home made hutch (outside) but they like the piggies one better

.

I cant see it doing any harm, theyre all happy and theres tonnes of room.

**citronsoul** · #9 02-09-05, 02:40 am

Do they share food?

**guineagurl** · #10 02-09-05, 03:40 am

Yeah they do at the moment, Im sure y'all will have a problem with that too~

)Theyre not allways together.

**citronsoul** · #11 02-09-05, 04:57 am

From what I understand, the dietary needs of guinea pigs is quite different from rabbits.

There's info about it here:

**guineagurl** · #12 02-09-05, 05:04 am

Yeah they are but theres also alot that is very simular.

They get all sorts of different things and they pick what they want!

Cheers :-)

How did this thread change from a funny topic to heckling the poster?
Seriously.......
My pets are healthy and now they are inside.......also happy!

**Ly&Pigs** · #13 02-09-05, 01:31 pm

You really should not house same species of animals together. Rabbit pellets do not contain the dietary needs of piggies and pig pellets aren't good for rabbits.

Rabbits can kick pigs with their hind legs and do some serious damage as well. We aren't trying to jump all over you but we are concerned and trying to explain to you why they should not be kept together.

Boy do I see this one going down hill fast. It's gonna get ugly.

**pennick** · #15 02-09-05, 03:13 pm

So did I. I read her post before everyone responded and I said Penick, stay out of this. -)

**Piglet** · #16 02-09-05, 03:46 pm

Listen to the advice given

**guineagurl** · #17 02-09-05, 03:56 pm

Nothing good ever comes from being blunt and all but saying ...your doing a bad job.
I didnt take offence but neither did i appreciate the attack.
You guys can be really nasty., Must be the arrogant Yankee way huh?

**guineagurl** · #18 02-09-05, 04:02 pm

By the way, I actually didnt ask for any advice....... i only wanted to share a funny thing.

They dont kick him... he tries to shag them and they just sit there.
Its funny.

**o0Ms Jenny0o** · #19 02-09-05, 04:11 pm

We're not attacking you we're just saying that there is a better way to take care of your animals. And I don't think it's funny that your guinea pig is blind.

**guineagurl** · #20 02-09-05, 04:15 pm

Please point out where i said it was funny that he was blind?

I was talking about trying to mount a rabbit. Gees,..
Talk about looking for anything you can to comment on.

Anyway hes not blind now, he had a cataract but it seems to be clearing up now.
