Potbellied Pig and Rabbit Compatibility

22 9:14:10

Question
I have a Chinchilla rabbit adn will be getting a potbellied pig next month who is 8 months old.  Do you know if a pig and rabbit are compatible?  My rabbit is loose inside my studio where I plan on having the pig sometimes.

Answer
Pigs are sociable animals and get along well with most other species. Dogs are the exception, because dogs are predators and pigs are prey. I personally don't know of any rabbit/pig companions but it sounds like this would work out well. Do keep in mind that pigs will be pigs, and a pig will eat every bit of rabbit food that can be found, so don't leave rabbit food out in dishes on the floor.
