Harmonious rabbits and hedgehogs?

Question

i have a 2 year old holland lop rabbit, and i am thinking of getting a hedgehog.

Does anyone know if rabbits and hedgehogs get along.

Answer 1

By all means you could keep both animals, but hedgehogs are solitary animals and are best kept on their own, even during playtime. Being nocturnal, they should also be kept in different areas as to not upset one another when they are trying to sleep. I would discourage introducing the two to one another just in case. They could potentially hurt one another and there is not really any reason to introduce them in the first place.

When you first bring home your hedgie, he or she should be quarantined for a minimum of 30 days so no diseases are spread to your rabbit should the hedgehog have any. You can never be too careful. Good luck :)
