Just to let you all know my lovelly rabbit shadow has been introduced to my new male guinae pigs and guess what he loves them he is a such a wee bully i thought i should keep them seperate but i did all he could to get in with them so i put him in to see the reaction and he loved it there the best of friends they sleep seperate but during the day they go in the run together i am happy x
 
Its nice that they have made friends but really it is not recommended for rabbits and guinea pigs to associate for a number of reasons, one being that the rabbit can carry a disease that can kill the guinea pig.

aw i didn't know that they are so happy i just thought having had all the injections they would be fine
 
I know, I kept them together when I was a kid but its really not recommended now. I think the disease in question is called Bortadella - could be spelt wrong - why don't you look it up and then you can decide for yourself.
 
Hi :wave:

I don't have any experience of this myself, but I know from RU that keeping piggies and bunnies together is really not a good idea, not least because of the risk of injury to the pigs. There have been a number of threads on this subject, so maybe you could have a look on search and see what comes up?

Could you get your bunny a rabbit friend instead?
