Jessie is a small young female being housed in the ARL's rabbit room. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Guinea pigs and rabbits should never be housed together because the rabbit's legs have a powerful kick that can easily injure the pig, and they are also commonly carriers of bordatella and pasteurella, which is very serious when contracted by guinea pigs.
Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *

Very true, never house a rabbit with a guinea pig, even if your rabbit seems to be a gentle bunny. Also, if you are a busy person, its good to have a couple of guinea pigs to keep eachother company. If you have one guinea pig, play with it at least once a day. Give your piggie fresh greens every day. Avoid iceberg lettuce, celery(its hard to digest), brocally, and potatoes and beans.
