I do hope that your not going to keep a rabbit with a cavy in the same cage, both of these animals need diffrent types of food.

Nine out of ten cavies are killed by the rabbit that owners put them in with.

Never go by what a pet shop has to say as they are only there to see things no to give expert advice.

I used to do part time work in a large pet shop and one of the things all the employees are told 'even if you think some thing is wrong, selling a guinea-pig and rabbit together, you will get more of a bonus if you sell a g-p with every rabbit if the g-p dies they can always come back for another' that's when I left there employment.

Re: new rabbit and guinea pig

have always kept them together and never had any problems. I also used to work in a pet shop and have kept and bred rabbits and guinea pigs for many years. Just not had guinea pigs for a year or so. Every one has there own opinion on things though i guess
