Keeping a rabbit with a guinea pig

Question
Hi , I have a netherland dwarf rabbit and he has lived on his own for 1 year and a half . We was thinking about getting a guinea pig . Would that be alright ?

Answer
No, you need another rabbit as a companion. Rabbits and guinea pigs shouldn't be housed together.

Is your rabbit neutered? If he isn't, then he will likely fight with anyone else. Please read http://www.guineapigcages.com/rabbits.htm and http://www.rabbit.org./behavior/index.html
