"guide pigs for the blind?

Ive just been reading through some cases on a website that takes in and rehomes buns, and one said a bun lives with "guide pigs for the blind" I thought guinea pigs shouldnt live with rabbits? This one has 2 living with her and seek reasurance from her if scared. Im not having a dig im just a bit

no they shouldnt live together but ive got a piggie with my 2,sometimes rabbits can bully the pigs and of course there diet is different and a few other things,i keep a close eye on mine and if there is any trouble then i will have to get another cage,touch wood,everything has been ok up to now

[b]The crazy gang comprise of 2 bunns (Jazz & Fizz) then Daisy the ever so confused MALE guinie Pig he thinks he is a Bunn they get along fine never seen any agresion at all they all eat and play together in fact Fizz has once again been building a nest which daisy then sleeps in whilst she watches over him its realy cute to watch

Guide Pigs for the blind :S How does that work then?

Would it be touch, as I know some animals are very theraputic. I must admit I have never ever heard of 'Guide pigs for the blind'

[b]Have to be a very small harness

I did wonder, ive never heard of them either. All animals can be theraputic in my opinion. It saddens me to see how people treat them, and its such a shame people who dont like animals for one reason or another cant learn to love them, the world would be a better place. I think they make us better people and I think Marley was sent to me from the Angels to get me through what were tough times ahead.

Ive been very deep in thought today, can you tell?

I'm confused......

Are these guide pigs for blind humans or blind rabbits?

It may sound like a bizzare question, but either way sounds a bit ludicrous to me!

My guinea pigs would be rubbish guide pigs. You wouldn't go anywhere you wanted to go and they would generate a general sense of panic within you and judging on current tunnel behaviour would nudge you straight out into traffic. But you would aloways know when you were passing a food source (wheek! wheek!)

[b]Someone else has a gobby guinea pig mine never shuts up

They are actually quite quiet normally. My oap that died last winter was really gobby and spoke for all of them! My neighbours keep asking if I still have them because they never her them! but in the last week they shout at me everytime I come into the garden. They have suddenly found their voices
