Everything went fine except for one thing...
.......... My rabbit was humping her? i can't seperate them coz i only have one cage, and the one outside... well ... it gets icy cold at night. Is this going to go on? i mean with the humping? or will he just do it every now and again?

Rabbits and guinea pigs should never be housed together because rabbits can cause serious damage to a guinea pig like kicking and humping as you have descibed. Also guinea pig dietary needs are very diffrent to a rabbits, please split them up asap. Even petstores are now seperating the two breeds.

If thats your rabbit on the link, then you have a serious problem! Thats an English Butterfly and apart from having long sharp claws, as an adult its a large breed. Six months old is not an adult. Rabbits can breed at an extremely young age but they mature properly over the first 18 months. Hes not fully grown and will possibly get at least a third to half the size bigger than what he is now. Not to mention more muscular and a hell of a lot heavier.
By replying to peoples answers by saying outright that your not seperating them, you are contradicting yourself. You asked for advice and help and most if not all have suggested to seperate them. If you can't do that then rehome the guinea pig, or take it back to the shop. To keep it simply to indulge yourself is cruel. If you don't seperate the guinea pig from the rabbit as soon as possible then, without being cruel, you have signed the death warrant on your guinea pig. Its life is over because as the rabbit matures it will turn to the guinea pig to relieve its sexual desires and he will eventually kill her. Mature male rabbits bite the back of the females neck when mating and a guinea pig is no acception. Though the teeth will tear open the neck of a guinea pig eventually. And the older he gets, the more he will do it.
The rabbit and guinea pig are not related and don't even come from the same areas. They can be company for each other but it ends there. The guinea pig does not understand why this is happening and rabbit is only doning it because she is the only female around. He knows that much but little else. Male rabbits will mount an inflated balloon if they are desperate enough.
Your only choice in this problem is seperate them, and now!
Alternatively and this is a possibility. Take the rabbit to the vets and have him castrated. It will stop him long term but you will never be able to breed from him. Its one or the other for the sake of your guinea pig.

If you have "no room for a new cage" and "no money for a new cage", then WHY did you even get the poor pig?? What happens when your pig needs to see a vet if you can't even afford a cage??????
Pigs and rabbits should NOT be housed together. Your rabbit will end up seriously injuring or killing your pig. Rabbits should be housed with rabbits and pigs should be housed with pigs. Period.
Please do that pig a huge favor and take it back to the shop or rehome it with another family that can take care of it properly. It should not be sentenced to a life of misery for the short time it will live in your rabbit hutch. Do not put it outside where it is icy. Guinea pigs cannot tolerate extreme temperature changes. It will be miserable there also. Just please find the poor little thing a new home.

No, no no! do no longer abode a rabbit and guinea pig jointly. Petstores are infamous for undesirable assistance and often set somewhat undesirable (and now and returned risky) examples. a million. Guinea pigs and rabbits require a diverse weight-alleviation plan. Guinea pigs can't consume rabbit nutrition, and guinea pig nutrition isn't suitable for rabbits. 2. Rabbits have efficient back legs which could heavily injure or kill a guinea pig if it is going to kick. 3. Rabbits are companies of bortedella, that's a threat unfastened micro organism in rabbits yet in guinea pigs might reason intense ailment or perhaps dying. do no longer abode RABBITS AND GUINEA PIGS jointly!!!

Why do people not research before getting pets ???!!!
You can't keep rabbits and guinea pigs together..they have different dietary needs....rabbits have a powerful back leg that can kill a guinea pig !!! Rabbits are very dominant..you need to separate them asap!!! In the hutch,is there any way you could divide it into 2 i know its gonna be small but if that's the only option at the moment it may save your piggies life !!!! Could you put the outdoor cage into a shed or outhouse in this weather :D You say you have another cage outside ??? I'd say put the rabbit in that one with a ball perhaps, my old rabbit used to hump a ball and she was a she lol :D GOOD LUCK

PLEASE SEPARATE THEM! they MUST be separated, else you should not have a guinea pig and it should be sold to a home where it will be cared for properly! rabbits and guinea pigs have COMPLETELY different diets - guinea pigs cannot produce their own vitamins, and need it in their diet, whereas rabbits can and don't need it. also, rabbits are much bigger then guinea pigs, and can bully them. the rabbit could crush the guinea pig when humping the poor thing. also, rabbits have been known to accidentally kick guinea pigs, causing injuries, often internal, and even death. so PLEASE, if you do not have the money for another cage, then you do not have the money to own a guinea pig, and you will have to sell it or give it to an animal shelter. as someone above said, if you do not have the money for a cage, then you will not have the money for vets bills, which you will end up with if you keep them together and the pig gets hurt! don't let your pig suffer and face possible death just because you can't afford another cage!
please separate them!

I think you should separate them if it gets out of hand. The rabbit can cause some serious damage to the guinea pig.
Well then i think you could save up a little money and buy another cage because rabbits and guinea pigs aren't meant to be together and its really up to you if you think your rabbit wont hurt her you can leave them together.
Yes, xfarmxgirlx is right you should have just got maybe another rabbit not a guinea pig because you'll be really sad if your guinea pig gets hurt.

Your not supposed to put a rabbit and a guinea pig together straight away like that, you have put the guineapig in a buck rabbits territory, I think you will be having a sad end to this farce, the rabbit will eventually cause the guinea to die, if you can for now put something in the cage that only the guinea pig can get into , that way she has a place to get away from him even I wouldn't want to be chucked into an uneutered bucks cage, very silly and perhaps cruel......................

you really really shouldent have got a guinea pig unless you could cage it seperatly. rabbits can KILL guinmea pigs with a effortless kick, trust me it happens. the RSPCA (the british animal protection, royal society for the prevention of cruelty to animals) advises to keep them seperatly. Yes it may well have been "humping" her, rabbits and guinea pigs should not mix because the 2 ways the rabbit can kill the piggy is aggretion, a kick from their powerful legs or injuring the piggy by "humping" it. the icy cage outside should be ok to put the piggy in if you buy one of those hutch covers available at most pet stores). hope i helped!

Some great answers. I especially like if you can't afford the cage you can't afford the pet! What happens to your guinea pig when the rabbit kicks and hurts it? Apparently you can't afford vet care either.
I wonder how long it will be before you come back on here saying:
"My rabbit kicked my guinea pig and now the pig can't move her legs what do I do? I can't afford the vet! And I still won't separate them! Waahhh!"
That was kinda bitchy, I know. :) But sadly will probably end up true.
