Ok so my rabbit is terrified of my guinea pigs. In my room i have 2 guines pigs and my rabbit . But my rabbit is so terrified of even going in my room because of my guinea pigs (who are in no contact with my rabbit). I know this is a guinea pig forum but does anyone have advise
Because most things i habe searched are about people bonding rabbits and guinea pigs, not making thrm not afriad of each other. Please help asap
 
Sorry I can’t help you there, someone else might, this thread has been around a while...
 
Rabbits like guinea pigs are social creatures and need company of their own species. Rabbits bonding with pigs are an absolute no no but your rabbit may benefit a friend of their own.
 
I don’t know how you would make the rabbit not be afraid of guinea pigs, it is probably not something you can ‘cure’. I would just suggest keeping them as far apart as possible - for health reasons (rabbits carry a bacteria which can cause Guinea pigs a lot of problems) but also for your rabbits wellbeing.
 
That's a new one! Generally I'd say gradual desensitisation but from all I've read I think you will mostly get advice about keeping them separate because of diseases that can be passed between them.
