Hey I have a trio and wondered in the future If i was to get a kitten would they get along. Has anyone else done this. Same for a puppy?
Since most shared the cat side, I'll share the dog side.
Dogs and rabbits can often get along -- provided they are trained and provided both the dog and rabbit(s) are willing. Sometimes a dog has too much genetic disposition to overcome.
But puppies and rabbits don't mix well. Puppies see rabbits as fellow littermates which is not a good thing. They will try to "play" with the rabbit(s) the way they would play with litter mates. That means chewing on ears, tumbling on top of them, and general rough housing. When puppy is teething, they would definitely have to be kept completely separate. Those teeth are sharp as a pin and can easily puncture a rabbit's very thin skin.
I have two toy sized dogs, and even though one of my bunnies is bigger than the dogs, I would never allow them to run loose together. One of the dogs is part Jack/Parson Russell and has a thing about chasing squirrels outdoors. Even though she ignores the rabbits in their pen I wouldn't trust her alone with my rabbits.
