QuestionI have a lop eared dwarf and a guinea pig both 9wks old who share a hutch. The guinea was in the hutch first and i introduced them to each other and their smells before putting the rabbit in. The rabbit is chasing the guinea and stopping it from getting to the food and water if it is close to them. The guinea now squeals whenever the rabbit comes anywhere near it. Is there anything I can do?
Many thanks

AnswerYou will need to separate them. If the rabbit is not allowing the guinea pig to eat, there's not much the guinea pig can do to get to the food.
Maybe later on you can reintroduce them. I would either separate the hutch so they each have a private section, or house the guinea pig separately.
A screaming guinea pig is scared, and needs to be somewhere safe.
