2 guinea pigs living with a rabbit???

Call the SPCA now! Wheek! [I was contacted about taking two adult male guinea pigs and later told that they were living in a "too-small" cage with a rabbit. The cage was 17" x 30" and the rabbit could barely stretch out. Since it was an abusive situation I took them. One of the guinea pigs appeared to be quite bonded to the medium-sized female rabbit. The other guinea pig was underweight and the rabbit would lunge at him. After they were moved to a larger cage the rabbit had more room to move around in and would upend the stools. I removed her after I saw her lunge at the one who was underweight. Since the rabbit was removed a male baby from the shelter who was here was bonded with them and the two adult guinea pigs have each gained about 100 grams. The guinea pigs are terrified and slowing being socialized.]
