Re: Rabbits and Guinea pigs

I am a Guinea owner/lover and I would never condone any Guinea to live with a Rabbit. Dont get me wrong sometimes it does work out but most of the time, pigs have been seriously injuried or killed due to the rabbits powerful back kick.
I think with the new animal laws/bill being put forward they are not to be sold together, but it could just be Pets At Home selling them seprate.

You all probably know this but they would not come together in the wild and live together, they do not have the same diet requirements and some people say 'well give the Rabbit, Guinea Pig food so the Guinea can get the Vit C' it doesnt work like that. Guineas need a supply of fresh feed which too much of can give the rabbit diarrhoea and kill it.

Sorry just had to put my two pennies in!
