Question
do rats, Guinea pigs and rabbits get on? would it be at all possible to house them together?

Answer
Hi,
 They cannot be housed together. First, they would hurt and kill each other. Second, they need different housing (caging and equipment. Third, they need different foods and would be sick if they ate each other's food. Fourth, they sleep at different times. Only house same species and then, only after slow introductions and quarantine.
