Whats easier to take care of, a rabbit or a guinea pig?

A friend of mine is going to get a rabbit or guinea pig. Right now she's going to go to the store and buy the one she thinks is cutest.





So I want to ask this question to help her. She said she would follow any advice I give so her so yeah.Whats easier to take care of, a rabbit or a guinea pig?
They are about the same as far as care, just different food and cages. I really believe rabbits should be housed separately, as both sexes can become aggressive... But it is possible to house two females together. Males will fight and pairs continually breed.





Male guinea pigs should be kept alone at all times unless being bred, and females can be kept in groups.





DO NOT house rabbits and guinea pigs in the same cage. Pet stores wrongly do it and it is a really bad idea. They have major differences in dietary needs and a rabbit could easily kill or injure a guinea pig.





I used to breed both, so if you have any questions you or your friend can email me at abby21409@gmail.com :) Good luck.Whats easier to take care of, a rabbit or a guinea pig?
Both require similar amounts of care. If you decide to get only one she needs to make sure that she give that animal extra attention, so it doesn't get depressed -- guinea pigs are social/group type creatures. Not sure about rabbits. Two of either would probably be a bit better for their mental well being. Each animal needs to have its cage cleaned every few days, getting lots of hay as often as they need it, and any other food or care.





Personally, I think guinea pigs have more distinctive personalities. However, I have been toying with the idea of rescuing one rabbit from a shelter. I currently have 6 fun and adorable piggies (most are rescues) 2 rescued dwarf hamsters, a mouse, and one talented cat. My piggies really like having the hamsters around. The sound of the wheels seems to be soothing for them.
Guinea pigs make lovely noises and bunnys cost more money because of vets bills and higher roofted hutches. They also kick and whatnot. I would definatley advice guineas as you can wash them, handle them indoors and are overall cutest. And if you wanted to breed them bunnys are born naked with their eyes closed while guineas are born all cute with thier eyes open and tons of fur!
a guinea pig would probably be easier to take care of. i personally haven't had any, but i've had friends who have, and i have had hamsters and rats. they don't require a whole whole lot.





i've had a rabbit as a pet before, and they are the best!!! pets you can have, they are so compassionate and adorable, BUT rabbits poop A LOT. i'm not joking with you lol. it is work and maintenance to keep up with rabbits droppings, that was the only bad part about having our bunny.......





depends on where she keeps the pet i guess. if she wants an in house bunny, it's best if she has the time and patience to potty train it to make clean up less of a hassel, and if she wants the bunny to be like a cat kind of pet (roaming around), you have to rabbit proof the home, because bunnies will gnaw on anything, they will chew the paint of the wall and the carpet from the floor......
I have both a bunny and a guinea pig.


I think the bunny rabbit is easier to take care of. (and cutest)


The guinea pig is well.... a pig.;)


Bunnies are well social and love any other pets if she have any!!!


Go to the pound and get a bunny!!!


Way to many bunnies and pets at the pounds people!!!!


So get the bunny!!!! ;D
They are both alot of work! They need to have a ';buddy'; I think. They need a hut they need a big cage for out side so they can run about on the grass. If I were you id get a guinea pig rabbit bites can hurt pretty bad.
Theyre both allot of work, and if you get a guinea pig you need two, and plus rabbits are allot bigger
