What These Animals Need
Long Lifespan
Rabbits live 8–12 years and guinea pigs 5–7 years. That's a decade of companionship and responsibility.
Space to Roam
These animals need room to run, hop, and explore — not cage-only living. Think play pens and exercise space.
Social Creatures
Many thrive with a bonded buddy. Loneliness is a real welfare issue — companionship matters deeply.
