Keeping guinea pigs with rabbits – animal cruelty

Guinea pigs and rabbits should never be kept together: rabbits are carriers of a bacteria (Bordetella bronchiseptica) that doesn't make rabbits sick, they just live with it, but can easily kill a guinea pig.

Rabbits often injure guinea pigs even when trying to play, because they are bigger, stronger and have a different body language.

And last but not least: rabbits and guinea pigs have different dietary requirements.
