Question
hey i know you said that you cant answer questions about breeding but you just might be able to answer so i thought i would ask. i have a male chinchilla and a female dwarf rabbit and i was wondering if you knew if it was ok for me to breed them together. if you don't know that's fine. thanks for reading!

Answer
Dear  Lacey,
thank you for your question.
Rabbits and chinchillas are completely different species and cannot breed. It's more likely that they hurt each other when you put the in one cage, at the very leats they will just ignore each other.
Both species are very social and should have company of their own species, though.
I hope I was of some help to you
