Yes. Both in the wild and in captivity, rabbits tend to find a "special friend" that they spend the majority of their time with and are faithful to throughout many breeding seasons. Rabbits who lose their partner often do not choose another and remain solitary.

No, guinea pigs do not mate for life. They are social animals that form bonds with their mates or other members of their group, but they do not necessarily mate exclusively with one partner for their entire lives.

Yes

If given the chance guinea pigs will mate with family members but this is not healthy for the babies.

Seperate male guinea pigs from their mother and sisters when they are 3 weeks old to prevent unwanted litters.

Nope. Female guinea pigs have problems if they do not mate early, but males are fine.

No, they do not mate for life. They are a rodent and will breed with any other guinea pig. This ritual is reserved for noble animals such as the Bald Eagle.
