Guinea pig and rabbit together? (Don't know where to post)

It's generally not advisable for guineas and rabbits to live together for several reasons, the main ones being that guineas and rabbits have different diets, that they communicate in very different ways so aren't really "company" for each other, and that rabbits have been known to seriously injure guinea pigs, sometimes purposefully, sometimes not.
I'm sure Fred would love a bunny companion though

Although our pet shop where we got our bunnies from (don't shout) said we could keep a rabbit and guinea pig together, I have read that in fact this isn't true. Aside from the differences listed above, the rabbit will be a minimum of twice the size of a guinea pig and therefore will be naturally more dominant - usually to the detriment of the g.pig so I would also advise against keeping the 2 together. Sorry.
Fred's neutered, To be honest I'm interested in getting him a wifey bun now
Thats great. have a look at www.rabbitrehome.org.uk there are lots of bunnies looking for homes. You can search by area but many rescues rehome nationwide so if you dont find a bun locally you can look further afield
ps Fred is very handsome

That's interesting! Never knew that. Apart from the obvious diet i suppose. Thanks
