adding piggy to rabbit

Question
I already have a holland lop doe and I'm thinking about getting a piggy, well mostly for her company...but mine too. I love small cuddly animals. How many changes will I need to make in order for them to live in the same cage? What sex should the piggie be with my bunny being female?Can piggies litter train? my bunny is. Can they eat the same pellets? The bag I have says its good for most small animals with a bunch of pictures on it. I have a lot of questions but I'm not going to ask you all of them.. just the ones mentioned. Is there an exclusive web site you could suggest for my other questions I might have?

thanks!!!

Answer
Hello Raeanne,
it is not a good idea to put a guinea pig in with a rabbit. The rabbit could injure a guinea pig by kicking him. Also, rabbits and guinea pigs require different food requirements and living spaces. If you would like a friend for your rabbit, I suggest buying another rabbit as a rabbit and a guinea pig could pose serious dangers.
