Would a rabbit be suitable in this situation?...

Hi there,
I've always loved rabbits. I have a guinea pig currently and some fish... unfortunately I broke up with my boyfriend, so for the first time I shall be living on my own in a small apartment, I'd like some form of companionship (not a person... just a pet) and would just like to hear from rabbit owners if they would be suitable for this?

Thanks

Depends how long you are out during the day really, if you are out longer than 4 hrs then you should get a bonded pair so they have company while you are out, you also need space and most importantly - DO NOT PUT THE BUNS WITH THE GUINEA PIG!! Ever....! Not even for a 'play' and dont feed them the same food, gpigs need vit C and buns do not!

Hope you do have room for a pair, there is a rescue in the Bristol area that is closing down and you could really help them

Good luck

I think rabbits are good companians but were would you Guinea pig be because they arnt ment to mix so i have heard correct me if im wrong.. Rabbits are great companions in my oppinion... xx

what about another piggy to keep yours company? as they should have a friend too. :wave:

I have a neutered male piggie and 3 female piggies, they make a lovely little group. It is great to see them interact.

Bunnies are the best companions....if you don't like mess....then get a cat!:lol::lol:

I've decided to get a rabbit for now... once I move.
Then possibly once I'm settled another guinea pig to go with Pixel.
