No, guinea pigs have relatively inflexible spines, and those balls force them to curve their back in a way that's painful and dangerous for them.
This is true even of the larger balls that aren't so obviously painful for the pig to even get in, so it's best to just avoid them altogether.

Can you put rats in hamster balls?
depends on the size.if small enough yes it may.*Due the spinal structure of rats, it is unhealthy and possibly damaging for them to be in hamster balls.If you compare the spines of hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs to those of rats, you will notice that the hamsters and such allow their spines to naturally rest with a concave curve, matching the curve of the inside of the ball. Rats naturally rest theirs with the opposite curve, it would be unsafe for the rat to be in a hamster ball for an extended period time, especially with the influence to the curvature of its spine the rat's tail would have.
