I don't know if this is in the right section. BUT, I went to the pet shop (local not big chain) where I got my noodle from last year...Before I was rescue friendly obviously. They had rabbits in with guinea pigs :/ and when I asked like who was boys, who was girls, I added in do you always keep rabbits with the Guineas? She said it's because they've never seen so many rabbits! So they have to many rabbits and not enough enclosures :/ do you think maybe they're not aware of the dangers of keeping them together? Also they can't have enough room in there :(

The lady who owns the store had no idea obviously. If it wasn't for the fact Jake my partner would have gone mad at me I would have bought every single guineapig and maybe even rabbit in there lol ! Just to make sure they're getting the right care. I know they feed all rabbits and guineapig in there the homemade muesli that they make themselves.

Just can't stop thinking about it! Is there anything I should do?
 
You could take along a few printouts for her to read. The RSPCA says that it's not recommended to keep guineas and rabbits together.
 
One of local shops keeps rabbits and guinea pigs together. I told them the reasons why it is no longer considered good practice and they just said that they have always done it!
