I have two guinea pigs Snowball and Sesame. When I got Snowball she was only about one month old. After a while I realized she was getting fatter. One morning I woke up and my sister told me she had given birth! My family had no idea Snowball was pregnant. So now we have Snowball and Sesame, who are both girls.

I like your site. Guinea pigs and rabbits should not be housed together, They are different, Have different needs, and a slight kick from a bunny could kill a pig.
howver, Guinea pigs can be housed with other guinea pigs, as buns can be housed with other buns.

Guinea pigs should not be housed together. Guinea pigs cannot be fed rabbit pellets and vise versa. There are additives to rabbit pellets that are harmful to guinea pigs. Guinea pigs over the age of one should be feed a good timothy hay and timothy-based pellets, not alfalfa hay or pellets. The alfalfa products has too much calcuim for mature guinea pigs. It gives them bladder stones.
They may get along OK together, but I know of many guinea pigs that have been badly injured or killed by a kick from a rabbit. The rabbit is usually just playing, but it has strong legs that can be fatal to guinea pigs.
I, also, know of guinea pigs that were badly injured from a bigger rabbit trying to mate with it.

we bought two guinea pigs named charles and matthew. in the first 3 days matthew died. We bought another matthew and he died in a few hours. we got another matthew and he was bigger than charles and would beat him up. So we took him back and now we have 1.

I bought 2 female guinea pigs recently. I named one Ramona, she is an abbysinian who is black with a white stripe down her back and a brown spot under her chin. I also have an abysinian called Coco who is grey and a few spots of white around her head. A couple days ago Coco got really jumpy and anxious before I left for school one day. That day at lunch my mom came to see me at school and told me that Coco was a mommy!!! Now i have 3 baby guinea pigs, Frankie, Molly, and Tyler!
