No, rats are omnivores, guinea pigs are herbivores. They will also seriously injure each other.

nicely, rats are predators. Mice are prey, guinea pigs are additionally prey. The rats would decide for the mice first, provided that they're smaller and an greater common purpose. they might probable rip out that's throat, or critically injury the little mouse. they have very sharp enamel, the mice do no longer. they are able to barley pierce epidermis. except you had a million rat, and six MALE mice, the tide of the duel would probable turn against the rat. yet interior the top, the mice would not stand a brilliant gamble. Guinea pigs are greater advantageous prey for a rat, easily harder to convey down for a single rat, yet while the guinea pigs are in a herd, there are risk-free practices in numbers, yet while there's a %. of rats, say 2+. they might purpose the weakest member interior the herd, working at the same time to convey it down. A guinea pig has no organic defenses, even yet it has a efficient jaw. waiting to pierce epidermis of a human. struggling with for that's existence, the adrenaline would be pumping via that's physique, making it greater aggressive and greater of a combat for the rats. The guinea pig will probable chew the rat, leaving open wounds which bleed heavily, inflicting between the %. to die. Now the guinea pig has killed, it is going to kill returned to maintain that's existence. that's have been something of the herd cost in on the different rat, in a killing frenzy, they injury the rat. The herd circulate on... So interior the top, the guinea pigs win. of path, the guinea pig did no longer win without some conflict injury. Then, the guinea pig VS mouse. The little mice are trod on, crushing their skulls, leaving them to die very slowly and painfully. yet of path, none of that would desire to ever take place. Rats and guinea pigs are ok at the same time. The mice could be, yet supervise intently!

I have never done it but it does not sound like a good idea. Both of them get aggressive if they are intimidated or bothered. You would probably end up with problems if you tried.

rodents so not get along well with smaller rodents. they usually injure or kill the smaller one if they are not the same species.
