Out of a rabbit, guinea pig or ferret? What is their life span? How much does the cage and everything cost? Can you show me the pictures of good ferret, guinea pig and rabbit cages? Which would you recommend. I own two guinea pigs so would a rabbit or a ferret get along with them more? How much does a rabbit or a ferret cost?

guinea pigs and rabbits live 6 or so yrs. ferrets live for 6-10 yrs.
cages cost anything from $50 to 200 depending on style and size.
none of these animals get along . ferret will kill them, rabbit will bully and bite guinea pig,
rabbits can cost $15 up and i payed $150 for my ferret. Ferrets are very expensive you are always putting your hand in your pocket, with vet bills plus i wouldn't even consider getting a ferret unless you were prepared to look after a 2 yrs old child , because that is how much of a hand ful they are. but they are adorable and once you have one you just can't help but love it, their the best.
i would recomend the rabbit easy to care for and cheap but it will need its own hutch, i wouldn't advise that you make it share with your guinea pigs it wouldn't be fair on them.

um if you do end up getting a ferret don't for the LOVE OF GOD put it with any other animals. their trained to HUNT CHICKENS! (and rabbits and any other small animal they can find) i have a ferret and the cage cost about a hundred and seventy (its fairly large and has a stand and shelf etc.) the actual ferret set us back about seventy. we also have the cutest little hammock thing for it its adorable i love it to shreds and its funny to watch it go crazy inside and play with one of those floppy broom things with the tassels. a good cage looks much like a rat cage only larger and with a stand. i had three rabbits and they weren't any spectacular breed and i bought them from the paper so they where only about ten bucks. a good pet shop rabbit would set you back about fifty dollars and the cage about two hundred. a rabbit should last about six years but none ever reach that far. (mine didn't last a year they mysteriously died one after the other.) that's another thing rabbits are prone to diseases and a lot of them kill them before you notice their sick. ferrets live up to about 8-10 years. in case you haven't noticed i think ferrets are the best.if you already have a guinea pig or two try something new and also you wouldn't need much help finding out what enclosure you need for them etc. as you already have one so i wont go into that hope this helped

guinea pigs are fun and get scared of you and run away but NEVER let that stop your relation ship! BUNNYS are soft.....boring....ferrets are awesome.
i don't know much about them though.
i got a guinea pig and food and cage and water bottle all for $100! usually it would be around $200 or $300 because i got a storage box a low long one with low walls and cake coolers (those things to cool your cakes on) and that was about $50 i think
guinea pigs are usually $30-$35
and rabbits are $30-$60
depending on place of purchase.
i have three guinea pigs and i love them to bits!
it is fine to have a guinea pig and a rabbit in the same cage.
make sure your guinea pig has another friend like a bunny or another guinea pig
DO NOT put a mouse or rat with guinea pig or rabbit.
one REALLY bad thing about ferrets is that if your sick they can catch that sickness!
also if one site says that Guinea pigs can have potato and another says they can go to books and other sites to make sure.
if you need help with rabbits nd guinea pigs please ask me
by the way please PLEASE go to www.rspca.org.au ( if you are in Australia) and adopt one from there!!!

ferrets are very active and inquisitive, they need a lot of room. The cages to properly house them usually run over $125.00. Rabbit hutches are also in that price range. Of the 3 you mentioned, I prefer guineas. I have owned all three and find them the easiest to care for, less messy, and far less smell. They are also such gentle little creatures that can be very loving toward their owners.

Rabbit, the cage is under 50 and the upkeep of them is easy....I have my rabbit in my backyard, she has free roam of it and loves it! Of course there is lots of shade and water for her but she loves the grass and I still give her fresh veggies and fruit and her rabbit food but it has cut the cost more than in half since i had her in her cage almost full time to being outside full time. She is also more affectionate now that she is always roaming around! She now loves to be held and she will hop up to you just so you could pet and hold her...I love it!
