Hello!
I have two adorable male guinea pigs - one is in a 2x4 C&C and the other one is in a 2x5 C&C. Both cages are about 3-4 feet off the ground.
I'm considering adding a rescue rabbit to my household. I own my own home, so landlords won't be an issue. I know that guinea pigs and rabbits shouldn't be housed together, but I was wondering: how far away should I keep the rabbit from the guinea pigs? The biggest reason I'm asking is because of bordetella bronchiseptica, a germ that rabbits carry that is the leading cause of URI's in guinea pigs. I would of course NEVER allow them to interact, but I was thinking of having the rabbit's main enclosure in the same room as the GP's. What do you all think?
Thanks!
