Not Sure What To Do With My Rabbit?

Question

I have a Albino Netherland Dwarf and the Guinea Pig he lived with died. We got the rabbit as a baby from a pet shop where they keep rabbits and pigs together in a large indoor pen. We got the rabbit after our pig so the rabbit has grown up around pigs all his life. We bought another baby pig to keep him company because he was depressed but it got ill and died. For the past few months hes been out in the garden on his own. Hes a very sociable rabbit and ive tried to spend as much time with him but its difficult with my GCSEs. I was thinking of moving him into the house so he doesn't get lonely and/or buy another pig. But I'm not entirely sure. Everything says don't keep rabbits and pigs together but he was fine with the 1st pig and he 2nd one.

plz help X

Answer 1

I must say i think the other guinea pigs could of died because of your rabbit the one that got ill could of got a disease from the rabbit because rabbits carry harmful diseases to guinea pigs also they kick and hump guinea pigs well males do.

Your guinea pigs could of been crushed.

Please don't get any more guinea pigs to go with him as they will probable die.

So with your rabbit you could put in doors but at the end of the day it is your choice.

But he will probable would like your company.

Bring him in would be the best for him.

Good luck and all the best

Answer 2

Guinea pigs can too live with rabbits you guys. :]

Maybe try th3 humane society and adopt a rabbit that is cailm and older that no one wants. This one will probably be spayed so you wont have to worry. Plus it will be nice to your other rabbit. Save him from the pound and give him a good home. :]

Just make sure they get along well. I suggest getting an older male.

Answer 3

its true rabbits and pigs shouldent be together really but why dont you get another rabbit!!

good luck

Answer 4

Same as the other answers, don't put guinea pigs with rabbits. Bring your rabbit indoors if poss (watch out for easily accessible wires). Or but another rabbit same variety, opposite s*x, but a neutered one. You don't want lots of babies!! Good luck.

Answer 5

u should buy another one rabbit not a pig!

Answer 6

Rabbit food is very bad for guinea pigs.

Get another rabbit.

Answer 7

I don't thing its a good idea but it's all up to you . You said your rabbit has already been with a guinea pig but it died and you don't know why it died (i think). So the cause of the death of your guinea pig might have been some mistake or accident by the rabbit. I know an Albino Netherland Dwarf is small but it is big compared to a guinea pig. And also maybe your guinea pig ate too much of rabbit's food because guinea pigs need alot of vitamin C. I'm really sorry for you for the loss of your pet and I'm sorry for the rabbit for the loss of its companion and friend.

I suggest you might want to read this before you choose if you want to buy a guinea pig or a rabbit. http://www.guineapigcages.com/rabbits.ht...

But my opinion is that you adopt another rabbit who doesn't have a home and is stuck in a shelter waiting for some one to adopt it.

P.S I'm not trying to blame the rabbit for the death of your guinea pig but I'm just saying.

Answer 8

You could always buy another Guinea Pig as your rabbit tends to be very sociable.

Answer 9

Despite the standard advice, rabbits CAN get along with guinea pigs. The main obstacle to that is making sure the dietary requirements of both animals are met - they are different and require different food, and making sure the rabbit - being the largest of the two, doesn't hurt the guinea pig.

Rabbits are finicky. Yours may accept another companion, or he may not. Introducing rabbits can be touch and go, and sometimes takes weeks or months to be successful. Sometimes the rabbits never get along. You could try putting another guinea pig in there and see how they go. Be prepared for your rabbit to reject it though - it may still take him time to accept a new one, so have a spare cage ready, or, if I were you, I'd move the bunny inside and keep him as a house rabbit. I've had both indoor and outdoor bunnies, and indoors they are lots of fun - you just have to be careful with their chewing. Lots of websites have info on that. That way, he can be "with" you, even when you're busy studying or whatever.
