Hi!
I'm looking for advice/opinions. BTW I know rabbits and guinea pigs shouldn't live together, I would never do it myself.
I'm currently (arrived today) looking after 2 rabbits and a guinea pig for someone I work with, for 2 weeks. She has brought them in a single story hutch, which although it is quite big, it doesn't give the guinea pig anywhere to escape to.
The rabbits are quite small (although obviously larger then the micro piggie), however, although the female is spayed and quite quiet, the male isn't neutered and is , ahem, rocking the kasbah with the female at every opportunity. I've yet to see him try it on the piggie but I fear it is only a matter of time.
Personally, I would like to put the guinea pig in a separate hutch at night (although still able to see and smell the rabbits), partly so he gets some peace but also so I know he has eaten something besides couple of mouthfuls of hay. Frankly, he seems quite worried by the rabbits.
What do others think, can I separate them overnight? I'm going to talk to their owner about getting another GP and putting the pair in a separate hutch. I'm also going to tell her to get Casanova neutered.
