The Friendship Verdict
Historically common but discouraged. Rabbits can carry Bordetella (fatal to GPs) and can accidentally kill a GP with a single kick.
The Best Way to Meet
Never rush an introduction! To help your Rabbit and Guinea Pig become friends (or at least share a room safely), follow these simple steps:
-
1Quarantine both for 4 weeks.
-
2Supervised neutral-space meetings only.
🚨 Signs of Trouble
If you see any of these behaviors while your pets are near each other, separate them immediately.
Rabbit thumping near the GP.
GP "wheezing" or hiding constantly.
Home & Space Tip: Separate feeding stations are vital as their dietary needs differ.
