Their are some food that can be fed to guinea pigs as well as other animals , yes.
But it isn't recommended that people feed foods that are not made for guinea pigs to guinea pig , So I would suggest buying pellets (food) specified for guinea pigs with no seeds in them (some companies put seeds in and make a mix but seeds are known for not being very good for guinea pigs.)

∙ 11y agoI don't think I would do it. Each type of food is made for a specific animal, where hamster food has the vitamins and nutrients for hamsters. I don't believe it would kill the guinea pig, but be very cautious. Feeding him guinea pig food is your best bet for his health.
