Ducks and Guinea Pigs

Just a passing thought...... Does anyone keep guinea pigs in with their ducks? If so, how does it work - especially with the water situation? Many thanks.
I got 2 ducklings for my son who had lost interest in his boring guinea pig who prefers to be the only guinea resulting in very boring pet, while walking through my house with the 2 ducklings I'd just got trying to set them someplace the cats wouldn't get them- I had them with our baby chicks but I changed my mind not wanting them to act like chickens and run away from my son so I thought oh hey the guinea pig is safe from the cats I'll set them in there and see what they think of each other. They groomed the guinea pig and she was instantly fascinated by the ducklings and pop corned for the first time in 3 years. When we had another guinea pig she would constantly nip at her and get annoyed, definitely not with the ducklings. She cares for them puts them to sleep cuddles and enjoys watching them play in there water. She was a little annoyed over them drinking from her water thing with the metal ball but they stopped trying to eat everything the guinea pig was eating or drinking. They follow her around the yard and if separated they'll come to me but run happily back to the guinea pig once they see her or the guinea pig notices they are not where she left them. I separated them overnight last night and the duck's where frantic in the morning and the guinea pig looked very mad and didn't move all night. Very happy to have her ducklings back :)
