i saw my rabbit 'humping' my guinea pig i know it sounds ridiculous but she have had an intake of sperm or could she even be pregnant?

thanx jack

Answer
Hi Jack

A piggy cannot get pregnant from a rabbit.

However, please do not let the two animals live in the same hutch. Having a rabbit mating with a guinea pig is likely to totally stress the piggy. Also, the two animals diets are very different and a rabbit can easily kill a piggy with its hind legs.
