Guinea pig or rabbit, which like their owners more?

NAS75767

Hi,
I have autism and my pets are my special interest.

I was wondering out of Guinea pigs and rabbits, what actually enjoys spending time with owners, cuddles and stroking more?

Remember this is with owners and not with their own species. (Both are very friendly with their own species, I already know this).

  • one of my friends likes exotic animals and since he has a nicely paid job he started collecting them, plus all neccessary equipment involved to keep them, terrarium, lamps, etc

    first He got himself 2 bearded dragons, they eat crickets

    then tarantula, I am not sure what that thing eats,

    and recent addition is boa constrictor, he was showing me how he feeds him with small mice

    so 1 big room full of terrariums, plus electric expenses super high

    and he has a lovely staffy bulldog he adopted from homeless in London name Princess

    I've had 8 rabbits. (6 Guinea pigs, 7 budgies, 2 lovebirds, 2 hamsters and a goldfish).

    My family's have had ferrets, hamsters, dogs (patterdales, labrador, whippets, lurchers),  quail, chickens (old English game. Silkie and ko shamo), a Jackdaw, goshawks, Harris hawk's and sparrowhawks. Tarantulas too.

    My grandad has had canaries, goldfinches, goldfinch mules, linets, redpols, bullfinches, rosy bourkes, cockatiels, koi carp, platys, ducks (Mandarin),  gerbils and fancy mice.

    My sister has a whites tree frog.

    Tarantula eat crickets. Small tarantulas called "slings" eat pin head crickets or wingless fruitflies. I hated the fruitflies (they always found a way to escape, even after a stocking over the lid)

    I have arachnophobia, I hated when dad has them.

    So I've been round a lot of animals.

    My favourite are rabbits.

    But guinea pigs are good too. I'm asthmatic to birds. Allergic to dogs. Hate fish and ferrets. 

    But animals are the best!
