I would choose guinea pig if you're going for cheaper. Here are my pros and cons:

Guinea pig:

fragile

should have a same-s*x cage mate

Bunny

Pros:

soo soft

still fun

more espensive

need a lot of exercise

also should have a same s*x cage mate

Answer 3

bunny i went to petsupermarket today the rabbits are so so friendly and the guinea pigs ran and hid

Answer 4

guinea pigs have a lot of personality, the ones i used to have would whistle to me when i talked to them, and they are very personable.

Answer 5

don't listen to people who tell you guinea pigs just run and hide. they just need to get used to you! my guinea pig ran from me like there was no tomorrow @ the pet store but now it loves to be handled. the only reason that the bunnies don't run is because they're lazy! lol no offense i'm not trying to bring bunns down or anything but personally, guinea pigs have a certain personality that i find rabits lack. it all depends on price, it all depends. an average for a mix breed guinea pig is like 16-20 dollars, if you want to get like a really fancy one it's a lot more. rabbits  are like 25 for a regular mix breed or lop ear. the lionheads tend to be more. they both require a lot of care, but i'd say that it's about a tie because both need to be cared for and loved. do some research on guinea pigs and rabbits, but personally i think a guinea pig is right for you. there's plenty of them that can be rescued from an abusive owner. and are just waiting to find you :)

Answer 6

Guinea pigs can bite and be kinda vicious so get a bunny!

Answer 7

well it depends on how much care you are going to give it

1.guinea pigs-medium care-medium expense

2.Rabbits-lots of care-expensive

the most responsive would be

1.rabbits-most

2.guinea pigs

so this is all up to you and wether you have the time money and love to give :D

have fuuunnnnn

Answer 8

I have a guinea pig and he is great to cuddle. You only need to clean the cage once a week. It is so easy to take care of them. Definitely a guinea pig. Your friends baby sister would like a guinea pig. One thing to know is they are very delicate creatures and need to be handled with care. Good luck.

Answer 9

I have both but I prefer guinea pigs.  I find that they are sweeter.  They love to be held.  Rabbits tolerate being held but they don't love it.  A guinea pig costs less to buy but the care is the same.  They both require work.  I find that rabbits are messier.  I hate cleaning their cages.  They go in big round balls and guinea pigs p**p in little pellets.  Guinea pigs don't bite but rabbits can be temperamental and their bite really hurts.
