Found a site I wasn't happy with...

They acctually can NOT be housed together. Unless you feel it is appropriate to put your pig's life in danger. Read https://guineapigcages.com/rabbits.htm

Slap, I know you're trying to be helpful, but you could have put that in a nicer way. Poozillas41 obviously didn't realize that it wasn't safe.

There have been cases, Poozilla, that bunnies-even baby bunnies or dwarf bunnies-have kicked at piggies and it's killed them. Even where the both got along just great and were best friends. The piggie can startle the bunny and it will kick or bite. Pigs and rabbits cannot eat the same food, and I think there are diseases or viruses that the bunny may carry that is fatal to pigs.
I hope you'll consider not housing your pigs and rabbits together in the future.

I'm not usually one to "bash" GP sites. I rarely go looking for them-I usually spend most of my online time here! But this site just really ticked me off!
(broken link removed)
They have bad advice on nutrition, housing, pairing, medical care, and other things. I looked at the site to see if I could contact the maker/author and try to educate them, but there wasn't a link.
I'm just appalled at some of the information on there and new unsuspecting owners don't have a clue that this info is horribly WRONG!

OMG!!! THey sell wild animals!!!:yikes: they give you all they rong stuff too!!!

I've heard that they can be given to hamsters, but never to guinea pigs.

I read somewhere (and then my vet okay'd it) that guinea pigs need the animal protien in dog buscuits. But then gp's are vegetarians right? They don't need dog biscuits or any other type of animal protien.

URIs don't specifically come from rabbits and it can affect both species. GPs can catch it without rabbits around.

They mean bordatella and pasturella.

That is definitely a mix-up with hamsters. Guinea pigs are herbivorous and must not have animal protein in any form. Hamsters, on the other hand, are omnivores and their diet really needs more protein than guinea pigs.

That's one site I know I will not be posting on.

These sound like trolls. Catching guinea pigs in the wild? Oh, come on. These people are just trying to get guinea pig lovers upset.
