Neuter him. It get rid of hormonal behaviours and will settle him down. You should also separate them. Rabbits and guinea pigs have different needs and the rabbit an injure the guinea pig.

Castrate him.
Also rabbits and G.Pigs don't make good cage mates; apart from the fact they have wildly differing dietary needs; your buck could kill your boar with a single kick from being frightened by something. And I doubt castrating him will stop him "humping" (or more likely rap.ing) and bullying your boar.

They shouldn't be cage mates. Get them their own cages.
Neutering will help... but at this point will not cure the problem completely.

get him neutered!! if you dont he is going to start marking his territory, and it will smell... also, I'm not sure if its a great idea to have a guinea pig in with a rabbit.... maybe you should bond your rabbit with a fixed girl, after you get him fixed....

Well honestly they shouldn't be "cage mates". They are two different species. If you don't want to get two new cages, try getting him neutered.

Well if it was me i would have wanted a female guinea pig to see if they would mate. But if you dont want him humping on the other get him fixed or seperate em.
