Rabbits Kept In Capacity

Rabbits for the most part are very sociable creatures, though males when kept together will often fight yet if they have been neutered bucks will live happily together, as will female does is they are introduced to live together from a young age, or carefully introduced at an older age dependent on the animals individual temperaments.

Guinea pigs and rabbits are often kept together as companions, it is correct that they will both live happily together and accept each other, again depending on their temperaments individually, however, the rabbit has extremely powerful hind legs and its habit of bouncing around rapidly can often result in the accidently injury or death of the guinea pig unintentionally, this even applies to the smallest breed of rabbit. As there are also different dietary needs and means of communicating for the rabbit and guinea pigs. For these reasons it is more recommendable that rabbits should be housed with other rabbits as a companion and not a guineas pig.

Rabbits make very good pets as they enjoy human companionship and are generally calm and enjoy human companionship. Without the option to retreat or hideaway they may display a degree of aggression when upset or threatened although very rarely aggressive under other circumstances.
