Yes, but if the rat cage has built in tunnels and wheels, take out the wheel and tunnels, because the guinea pig might try to spin on the wheel or climb through the tunnels, and that could KILL IT!!! you see, guinea pigs have very fragile spines, so they can't bend in that "U" shape, or else their spines will snap.

NO NO NO!! It may be WAAY to small from them! I agree with the person above me, Their spines cant bend that way. The only exersize most guinea pigs get are walking around in their cage.
