advice needed for rabbit and guinea pig

Can you keep a guinea pig with a rabbit in the same hut?
the rabbit has been in the hut on her own for 2/3 years. i was told that the rabbit may kill the guinea pig with her being on her own for so long?

Nope. Pigs and Buns are very different in their needs, and their behaviours

Some do it, and its fine...but it can be very dangerous for both parties, if you want a friend for the bunster, then consider having him/her neutered, contact a local rabbit rescue and they would be able to help you choose a new friend and help with bonding them. HTH

you could get another rabbit though to keep her company! they are much happier in pairs.
