I have seen rabbits and guinea pigs kept together in pet stores. Is this okay or should they be separated?

Rabbits and guinea pigs can make great friends. They are usually fine together if introduced at a young age. But sometimes a rabbit can bully a guinea pig. Just keep an eye on them and you will know what is best for them.

It is usually best if they are not kept longterm together. They do better living separate lives. They don't really interact much together. First off and the most important, guinea pigs require a very exacting special diet and it is very different from rabbits. If you went both to live a long healthy life, you will not let them eat each others food. Rabbits use a litter box. Guinea pigs need hay for bedding on the floor but rabbits eat hay and shouldn't be bedded in it. As far as aggression, occasionally a guinea pig will bite or pull hair off a rabbit, or growl at it to get it away from food. Some guinea pigs really are little pigs.
