My rabbit just gave birth to 2 litters in the last 3 months. After the first one I noticed one of her front teeth had gotten croocked and now it is longer than the other. She does not like to chew on cage toys. Is their anything else I can do to keep her tooth from getting to long? My other rabbit is so aggressive that she can not be kept near any other rabbit. I have heard that ginea pigs get along well with Rabbits. Would a ginea pig get along with my rabbit or is that just asking for trouble.
Answers:
That's just asking for trouble. They should not be housed together otherwise you'll find one of them mutilated one morning (not a good thing to wake up to). You may see rabbits and guinea pigs housed together in pet stores, they get away with it because the animals are still babies and are sexually immature. Once they mature, the fighting starts and they need to be separated. So please do not put your bunny and GP together.
As far as your rabbits teeth go, you will need to consult a vet and have them show you how to grind the one tooth down. Otherwise you'll end up with feeding problems and a really unhappy bunny.
you gotta get it to chew something or just file it's teeth yourself. and guinea pigs can be mean too, they'll hold their ground.
I had a bunny who lived with a guinea pig just fine. They lived a happy life together. They would play and eat together--it was kinda neat.
You should observe/watch them for a while and work up to longer visits together. Play it by ear--it can be done.
Like any animals you introducing--it takes time and it they might not make a good pair, expecially once the rabbit shows some agression. Time will tell and you will know.
Good luck.
P.S> Might consider getting them fixed if your not a breeder. It's hard on your bunny to have so many babies so close
1. take the rabbit to the vet and gets its teeth straigned out together.
2.it depends how your rabbit is.introduce them slowly.first cage bars.if they get along well introduce them with no bars but watch them.rabbits dont really need company but lots of attention
A rabbit teeth are always growing. Take a finger nail clipper and cut it to line up with the good tooth.
Breed and shown rabbit in the past. And had the problem.
Do NOT house a guinea pig with a rabbit. Diseases can be passed from to another, their diets are different and not to mention that a rabbit, however gentle, can accidently kick a guinea pig causing internal bleeding. Guinea pigs can also be mean. Get your rabbit spayed please. There are so many unwanted rabbits out there and it's not good for her health. Getting both rabbits altered might make their behaviors a little less aggressive. But I seriously do not recommend housing a guinea pig with a rabbit.
PLEASE DO NOT HOUSE THEM TOGETHER BECAUSE THE RABBIT WILL KICK THE GUINEA PIG, AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT DIETARY NEEDS, MAKING IT HARD TO KEEP THEM HEALTHY! THE CAVY WILL GET HURT!!!!! Hope i helped. :D
A vet will take care of your tooth problem, but as for the agressiveness . . . Getting her fixed may help with that, but it is never 100% garanteed. I have a couple of female rabbits that get over aggressive when they are pregnant, if you are sure that it is female, you might want to give her a nesting box and a handful of hay just to see if she makes a nest.
Putting an guinea pig in the pen will most likely cause problems for both the bunny and the guinea pig (one eating the other's food for an extended period of time causes bad diaharea, and that is NOT good for either critter to have), they even need seperate kinds of food, not to mention any stray kicks or bites might break bones or damage something important.
