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).

    Unfortunately, chinchilla are very expensive.

    £100+ for the animal. £100+ for the cage.

    The most I've spent on a pet.

    £60 for  a standard rex rabbit (my nethie was £70 to vaccinate, but only £35 to buy) and £60+ for a large single hutch.

    My step mum had a chinchilla and reading other reviews by owners: they don't sit still for stroking. They have complex bathing needs- fine dust is bad for my asthma. They need dust!

    I like an animal to sit on your lap and get cuddled, kissed and petted. My rabbit does this. Other rabbits before too. My guinea pig does this too (minus hugs and kisses).

    I've researched other pets, an obsession was too look as every pet. From rodents like degu to gerbil. Dog to fox. Cat to servel. Skunks, hedgehogs and wallabies. Rabbits, ferrets and birds. I even looked at exotics like sugar gliders and insects/reptiles.

    Rabbits and Guinea pigs are the way to go. Also my parents said no more pets, until these ones die.
