Question
Hello, my name is amy. As you can see, i am doing a science project for my school. The topic of my research is:
Which animals are better/easier to care for, guinea pigs or rabbits? My hypothesis was that both of them would be similar,because they don't have much difference in size and shape. I really need an answer or a bit of help until Tuesday,October 24th. If u would help me, I would appreciate it A LOT! A little bit of help would make a big difference. Thank you very much, and have a nice day^^

Answer
Hi Amy,

    The only difficult thing I can think of that can be a problem with owning a rabbit but not a guinea pig is the rabbit's size.  Because a rabbit can grow to be considerably larger than a guinea pig, it requires more space.  Other than that I'm not too sure how much help I can give, because I just adopted the first rabbit I've ever owned about a month ago - so far it seems that they are very similar in the way they must be taken care of.  Perhaps you might want to include in your project that they are in fact to similar in care that many people will house rabbits and guinea pigs in the same cage.

    Thank you for your question, I hope I was of some help to you.  If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.  Good luck with your project (=
