This is not recommended. A guinea-pig’s rib-cage is very frail and vets see many cavies with fractured ribs or punctured lungs as a result of kicks from rabbits. If they absolutely must be kept together, provide a safe refuge for the cavy within the communal area. The entrance to this should only be big enough to admit him.
