He quoted; "I'm a fantastic owner too"

This was after we all posted about diet, disease, rabbits easily killing guinea pigs but accidents and guinea pigs actually injuring rabbits.

Some people only want to listen to people who support their own opinions, we are all here to give the best advice and stop each other from making mistakesgrrrr
 
Well it's no wonder he doesn't want to rescue as no (reputable) rescue would allow piggies to be rehomed with rabbits.

Ask for advice, advice is not what they wanted to hear, ignore advice given:x
 
I rarely post detailing my real thoughts and try to be as nice as possible within my replies as i don't want to cause offence or hurt anyone's feelings - but looking at all the posts made by rabbitdan, i can't help but feel his membership on this forum was created with one single intention - to cause arguments.

Ive not seen 1 single constructive post from this member and cant help but feel they are here to cause ill feeling. The ethics of this forum are plain for all to see - and anyone who comes on here in an attempt to tarnish that isn't worth hitting the reply button to...

Unless a real question pops up from rabbitdan that doesn't include the sheer disregard for guinea pigs and other animals, i certainly wont be entertaining a reply!
 
You can hate me as much as you want, but the simple fact is that NO good forum will tell you it's fine, NO good rescue will tell you its fine and NO good breeder will tell you it's fine.

You're going to get the same answers from every single person who actually knows what they're talking about.

If you continue to ignore it, you put a pets life at risk.
Said it before and I'll say it again, if you go ahead with it and one of your pigs ends up being killed, it is YOUR fault and YOUR fault alone.
 
Please don't risk your guinea-pigs lives by putting them with your rabbits. They will very likely injure each other at some point, and the rabbits could very easily kill the rabbits. I have guinea-pigs and rabbits and although it's not fun cleaning out more hutches I would never risk my pets lives or happiness by putting them together. Please reconsider putting them together it is dangerous and it is worrying that your vet said it is ok. People used to think it was ok, but in the past couple of years people have realized that they should not live together and it is not recommended that they live together. If you can't/won't house your guinea-pigs seperatley from your rabbits then I suggest you don't get them, because it is not fair to not provide the guinea-pigs with the care they need because of what is convenient for you. Sorry if this sounds harsh I just feel very strongly about this, they are not the same species, they can't communicate, they eat different foods (guinea-pigs need more vitamin c than rabbits) and they should not be housed together. They shouldn't ever be near each other. I have rabbits and guinea-pigs and they have seen each other through the bars of their hutch/run because they are at opposite ends of the garden but I would never let them together, even if just for a few minutes and I certainly wouldn't house them together.
 
my rabbit skye used to live with a guinea pig with her previous owner and the piggie died because Skye used to eat all the food and wouldnt let him get his fair share
 
I reported the thread on RU to get it locked. He wont listen, trust me!
 
I know now you're not meant to, but when I was younger I had a pig & a netherland dwarf in together & they were completely inseparable. In fact my rabbit died of old age eventually & my piggie died a few months later of a broken heart I think. She adored him.

He was a particularly placid bunny... I wouldn't chance it now I'm older & kno better.
 
wow what is wrong with that person? discusting disregard for the poor piggies saftey. i hope he does listen but i dought it :/
 
Ohhhh this is all getting a bit weird! I'm sorry I was nice earlier on in the thread to you, you were clearly just here to cause trouble, strange how people get their kicks but heyyyy, that's how some people roll...... I don't think you're getting guinea pigs at all, you just know how to wind up the people on here and that's what you've done.
 
Hello Dan, bit pointless making two accounts dontcha think?

Nobody hates you, they just don't like your attitude. You came and asked for advice, but unless they say what you want to hear, which no one will, you don't want to hear it. If you had accepted the advice given and tool it seriously, everyone would be happy to help you.
 
Please.

i am not called rabbitdan. i dont even have a rabbit!
ive just come on here to research about guinea pigs before i get one, to make sure they are a good pet for me!
 
Shows immaturity to not take advice being given for welfare of animals
and to create another account to stir things up
I would question your ability to care for any animal is this is how you behave
 
So rabbitdan is online now and your offline, when he is offline your online..
You have the same style of typing..
Your "guinea pigs" have the same names as he wants, they aren't exactly common..
You join the same time as this is all going on and act against him..

Rabbitdan's only 14years old, so probably explains the immaturity and the thread (not that all 14 year olds are immature, just more likely to be on the wind up and find it amusing than an adult!)
 
well ive seen that you are all actully quite rude. i came on here to research my new pets, but instead you are calling me someone else! I dont even have a rabbits for gods sake!

I'm going to leave now and join a more friendlier more welcoming forum!

Makes it more concerning to me. Poor pigs are having a 14 year old who doesn't seem to grasp the inportance of keeping them seperate... The pigs are gonna suffer because of an immature kid.
