Can a rabbit and guinea pig breed?
Hi, So I have called several vets in my area and all of them tell me the same thing...that it is impossible for a female rabbit and a male guinea pig to breed. Here is my situation: I have a female rabbit that lives in the same pen as a male guinea pig. The female rabbit got pregnant with our male rabbit and we moved the male rabbit out of the cage still allowing the male guinea pig to stay in with the female rabbit. The female rabbit had 4 babies. One day when we went to go out and check on them (the babies had just turned a month old), we discovered that the female rabbit had a new litter of 3 babies. One died, leaving 2 babies. She was NEVER with the male rabbit and we only have 1 male rabbit. Was this immaculate conception, or is the male guinea pig the culprit. It's acutally kind of funny because these new babies actually look half guinea pig/half rabbit. They really don't look like the other baby bunnies who are a month old. Does someone have any answers out there??

I asked of my close friends who has bred rabbits for the past 14 years and he said it was impossible for the female rabbit to mate with the male guinea pig. What you describe may well be science news!

This would be impossible.. okay the female could have been pregnant and not had the full litter and then later had the rest of the rabbits (conceived @ different times) with the rabbit and that is why you think that your guinea pig got her pregnant. This is the only answer because sometimes this does happen.

um, is there anyway another maybe wild rabbit could have reached yours?
Technically a G.P and rabbit cannot breed but I'd be interested to see the results!

I'll check up for other cases,
