Question
my guinea pig is a female, and my rabbit is male. they live in the same hutch. can my guinea pig get pregnant by the rabbit, and is this alright?

Answer
Hello Libby,
no your guinea pig can't get pregnant with another rabbit, in fact I strongly suggest that you seperate the two animals because the rabbit may injure the guinea pig by kicking him. also guinea pigs and rabbits have different nutrient requirements and should not be fed the same food because they may not be getting all the nutrients they need. It's best to seperate to make sure they are getting the right amount of food as well as nutrition.
