A guinea pig and a rabbit can become an ideal couple.
For this we must know their characters and take it into consideration throughout their training, the rabbit is territorial by nature and the guinea pig is usually more docile, this is a point in favor of making great friends, it is advisable to raise them together from small, at first we will have to leave a habituation period (we will put them together in the same cage with a separator grid which will allow them to be seen, smelled, left getting to know and get used to each other, it is also important to get them out of the cage together and start games with them, always under our supervision).
If our decision is to acquire a guinea pig when we already have a rabbit at home, the right decision would be to castrate our rabbit to prevent it from being territorial, and introduce the guinea pig into its life in the manner explained above.
This process can take a long time, our advice is to be patient and the fruits of your effort will be reflected in your pets when one day they see their dwarf rabbit cleaning the guinea pig and vice versa, or when they are surprised playing together or eating from the same food. dish. It should be noted that it will be important to train them so that each one of them has their own feeder and eats from the one they have, since guinea pigs have different nutritional needs from rabbits.If we decide to acquire these animals, we will start with the guinea pig and a few months after its arrival we will introduce the dwarf rabbit, using the method mentioned above.
Our guinea pig needs a feed supplemented with vitamin C.
Guinea pigs cannot synthesize this vitamin, so it is very important that their diet contains it in higher doses than that of the rabbit. On the contrary, feeding the rabbit with guinea pig feed will be a mistake precisely because of the extra vitamin content it contains. C and that our dwarf rabbit does not need like the guinea pig.
Being able to have animals of different breeds is possible by being very careful with training and feeding, knowing the reactions of our pets and with a lot of patience and affection.
